WORKSHOP PROGRAM PreConference Workshops July 16-27 1 WP1: Modeling Instruction in High School Chemistry - 1 Raymond Howanski, Laura E. Slocum (1. Science Department, Heathwood Hall Episcopal School, Columbia, SC, United States. 2. Science Department, Ridley High School, Folsom, PA, United States.) Session: Preconference Workshop; July 16-27 Suggested Audience: High School Workshop Cost: $600 Maximum Participants: 15 Workshop Description: Modeling Instruction in High School Chemistry organizes the course around a small number of models, rather than a collection of topics. It provides an instructional framework that mimics how scientists “do science.” Students use experimental observations and evidence to construct and refine conceptual models of physical phenomena. Then they apply their models in different situations to answer questions or make predictions, and they probe the boundaries of their models to find out where they break down—where a better model is needed to explain what they observe. More information on Modeling Instruction is available at: http://modelinginstruction.org/ Participants will play two roles. First, they will perform the laboratory investigations and problem solving that their students are asked to do. Second, they will practice the techniques of managing student discourse in an inquiry-based classroom. Throughout the workshop, teachers are asked to reflect on their practice and how they might apply the techniques they have learned in the course to their own classes. As a follow-up to the workshop, each teacher will share for 5-10 minutes as part of the Modeling Symposium at the BCCE to help other high school teachers become familiar with what they have learned during this workshop. This workshop is being co-lead by Ray Howanski and Laura Slocum. They have conducted several summer workshops for teachers and have used modeling instruction in their classroom for years. If you have additional questions about this workshop, you can contact Ray at: [email protected] or Laura at: [email protected] WP2: Modeling Instruction in High School Chemistry - 2 Larry Dukerich, Laura E. Slocum (1. Science Department, Heathwood Hall Episcopal Schoo, Columbia, SC, United States. 2. American Modeling Teachers Association, Phoenix, AZ, United States.) Session: Preconference Workshop; July 16-27 Suggested Audience: High School Workshop Cost: $600 Maximum Participants: 15 Workshop Description: Open to teachers who have completed a Chemistry 1 workshop, this workshop will focus on an evidence-based approach to the internal structure of the atom, periodicity and covalent bonding, intermolecular forces, equilibrium and acids and bases. Teachers will have the opportunity to refine their understanding of modeling pedagogy and strengthen their understanding of content in these areas. Participants will play two roles. First, they will perform the laboratory investigations and problem solving that their students are asked to do. Second, they will practice the techniques of managing student discourse in an inquiry-based classroom.
