            Fall Science Network Meetings— General Description

     The Fall 2009 Science Network Meetings will focus on Communication in Science through the content topics of Weather and Climate. The K-4 meeting will focus on Weather concepts as described in the GE’s, while the 5 –12 meetings will address Climate and Climate Change.

   Students need to know how to learn about science on their own to be life-long learners—to be able to read, understand, discuss and critique real-world issues, and then share their thoughts through writing.  To support these skills we will address a process of science communication, to provide students with skills for reaching informed and thoughtful decisions.

• Elementary Level Meetings will focus on weather content and provide teachers with different with resources to implement in the classroom. Elementary teachers will be going outside so dress accordingly.
• Middle Level meetings will address a variety of inquiry classroom activities that supports Climate Change content.
• High School meetings will emphasize useful methods for addressing controversial issues in all content areas of high school science curriculum.
