It was fun to spend an hour — or two — with you yesterday afternoon. If you attended my Science in a Bag (SIAB) workshop — you were guinea pigs. It was my first presetation of that topic. And I got the message — too little time. Next year I will host a SIAB Part 1, and SIAB Part 2. I think that will help. Thanks for the feedback.

Here’s a PDF of the handout in case you didn’t get one. Click here: Science in a bag

I’m so excited to spend time with you! What a beautiful place!

Thanks to Casio for sponsoring my presentation.

Celebrating the 4th

Have you seen it? It’s amazing!

Trying to teach science using the 5 E’s (engage, explore, explain, elaborate, evaluate) is a daunting task. It’s tough enough to be an expert on the content, but putting the content together with inquiry based labs and the 5 E’s can be overwhelming.

Typical to form, Discovery Education has done it for you. DE Science Techbook integrates technology and streamlines the process so that all of your children can learn science in the manner that we all know works best. The lessons are aligned to state standards — not just the national guidelines — which makes it that much easier for me.

I love DE Science Techbook — and can’t wait for summer to be over so I can dig in with my kids!
