Track 3 - STEM labs with NY Hall of Science
School Year 2012-2013 Dates for Hall of Science PD will take place on Saturdays 10/20, 10/27, 11/3 (cancelled), 11/17, 12/1, 12/8 (make up date for 11/3)..

As part of this track 25 teachers will attend a five day institute at the New York Hall of Science (NYSCI). Sessions are designed to provide an in depth experience on STEM in the classroom, what those fields encompass and how they inter-relate to each other. Teachers will explore these fields in detail by applying the STEM fields to a project-based lesson and using museum exhibits to promote scientific inquiry with specific respect to the STEM fields. Teachers will learn how the STEM fields should best be presented in a classroom lesson and the criteria for effective classroom delivery by developing a lesson plan that incorporates hands-on, inquiry-based teaching of disciplines embracing the STEM fields. Teachers will have a set of resources (lesson plans) that they can use to engage students back in the classroom and also be empowered to build on the strategies learned to continue designing effective and high quality science lessons.

Sessions will provide teachers with various strategies and models that use inquiry based projects and activities to develop science literacy and communication among students. NYSCI instructors will demonstrate how hands-on activities, science notebooks, exhibit investigations and creating science podcasts can increase science content knowledge, literacy and communication. ===== .

The Hall of Science is located at 47-01 111 St., Corona, NY 11368.
