Leading With Phenomena: Mystery In Desert Rocks Canyon
Tuesday, May 25th
3 p.m. EDT
Geologists found a mysterious fossil in a rocky outcrop. How did it get there? Join us to gain insight into phenomenon-based, three-dimensional teaching and learning. Using an exemplar from Amplify Science, explore how instructional sequences designed around engaging, authentic phenomena can provide a powerful context that motivates students to figure things out like a scientist using the three dimensions of science and engineering.
Evidence In The Era Of NGSS
Thursday, May 27th
4 p.m. EDT
How do we support students in building evidence-based explanations of phenomena? Join us to experience how a multi-modal approach allows students to gather evidence from a variety of sources and grapple with phenomena and real-world problems like scientists do. We will unpack structures from the K-8 Amplify Science curriculum and consider how a deep understanding of NGSS can support you in making principled pedagogical decisions.
Establishing A Culture Of Figuring Out

Coding Science Internship Showcase
Thursday, June 10th
4 p.m. EDT
What if coding were integrated into core science instruction instead of being an isolated, after-school activity for a select few? Join us to experience cutting-edge and research-based instructional materials designed to make coding an interactive, collaborative, and science-based endeavor in service of students finding solutions to real-world problems. Explore how middle school Coding Science Internships can play a prominent role in providing equitable access to coding and computational thinking for all students.
