This workshop will walk you through the VAEI's instructional model for inquiry-based science that enables you to teach science like a real scientist and enables students to think and act like scientists as they take part in fun investigations! We will participate in a hands-on science experiment together and walk through the process of inquiry by using the process of scientific inquiry that integrates a rich learning environment while nurturing scientific habits of mind. Integration with other subject areas will looked at. Science curriculum big ideas and the core competencies will be addressed as we learn with each other, addressing the process and the culture of inquiry. This workshop will give you the confidence to teach and do science in your own classroom!
