These workshops integrate energy literacy and the three-dimensional learning of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Participants will engage with a climate and energy focused anchoring phenomenon and teaching routines to experience the shift from “learning about,” to a more student-driven “figuring out.” We will collaborate, conduct investigations, share resources and reflect on how to promote student voice, sense-making, and engagement within your curriculum. Guided discovery and activities will allow for the integration or adaptation of hands-on energy learning into your work with students.

“I really enjoyed the training and learned so much about power resources and how to teach my students to start caring.”

“I feel that my students could be empowered by the idea that they can all be scientists, even without going into a job in the field of science. Even the questions of daily life are better answered through a scientific lens.”

“Everyone is coming in with different levels of experience and I think it’s easy as adults to jump right to the “right answer” rather than helping others figure things out. Aubrey and Angie  modeled this process throughout the day through coaching us.”
