| NAEYC | | | Dates: | Wednesday, November 03, 2010 | | Title: | NAEYC | | Description: | Presenters: Brian Anderson; Mary Hobbs; Robert Williams; Sandy Martinez; Montserrat Garibay
11/3/2010 8:30 AM – 12:30 PM
Room 212A, Anaheim Convention Center
The presenters will describe how BLOCKS teachers shared with their children the two big ideas of physical science. Part 1 will look at lessons that teach children to identify properties of matter. Part 2 will explore lessons that teach children about force and motion. The BLOCKS project teachers and staff at the University of Texas (NSF Funded) spent a year observing children as they engaged in activities in these two areas. Teachers developed a strategy for introducing and teaching these big science ideas. Video clips of the children interacting with the equipment will be shown. The teacher presenters will also offer suggestions for those who are working with Spanish speaking children. Presenters will describe the sequence of activities so that participants can learn how the activities might be used with their own students. Content knowledge will also be provided to ensure understanding of these physical science concepts by the particpants. Participants will be encouraged to share these ideas with other teachers once they have returned to their own schools. | | Times: | 8:30AM - 12:30PM | | Session Title: | Big ideas for little brains: Teaching fundamentals of physical science to 4-year-olds |
