Join our instructional specialists as they lead you through an informative two-day workshop that will help you navigate expectations, provide tips for set up and implementation, and give you opportunities to practice activities within each NYSED Science Investigation. Together with your colleagues, you will complete Thermal Tales, Wheels to Watts and Induction Junction just as your students will. We will discuss how these labs relate to the standards and how they can fit into your curriculum. You'll be given time to ask questions, share your ideas and collaborate with peers.

About the Investigations

The Investigations are laboratory experiences that have been developed in order to fully assess Performance Expectations that require authentic hands-on tasks. While successfully completing the Investigations, students will be immersed in 3-dimensional science learning that will help prepare them for the corresponding state summative exam.
