Sessions include materials and facilitators to help you build the selected apparatus/device. Since we are building these, there is a rich opportunity to extend these into engineering activities for you, and your students. Conversations can extend to include sharing how you can use this in your classroom, scaling up, purchasing materials, or other collaborations to enhance the usefulness to you and your classroom. Each Make-and-Take addresses a key content area related to physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering. Additionally, there is an opportunity to see the latest from Vernier, as well for you to share a favorite demo or instructional activity or strategy.
These activities can be appropriate for all grade levels (click to see a detailed description).
