How do I enroll? Please provide us with some information and we'll be in touch soon. To better address the individual needs of particpants, class size is limited.
What will I learn?
Why do you need a closed circuit for electricity to work? Why does a liquid take the shape of its container? How do airplanes fly? Why do ships float? How does light travel? What happens to matter when it's 320F below zero? How does a speaker use electricity to make sound? What happens to marshmallows in a place without air? What's the difference between pitch and volume? How does gravity work?
Not just another "hands on" seminar, we'll cover the fundamentals behind what you're teaching your kids. You'll be better prepared and more confident when answering students' questions and learn many clever, new ideas for getting them excited while also effectively getting your teaching points across.
Geared directly toward Kentucky's science standards, one past participant called this program "One of the few professional development opportunities that's really worth the time spent!"
