CHILDREN'S LITERATURE & SCIENCE
INSTRUCTOR(S):
Susannah Sandrin, Ph.D.,
UW-Oshkosh
Sarah Rose Van Camp,
UW-Oshkosh
GRADE LEVEL: K-5
This course will demonstrate how to
use children's literature to
investigate scientific claims and
questions that arise from these
books with students in the
elementary classroom. Each
lesson plan will include hands-on,
inquiry-based science activities to
provide teachers with many ideas to
implement in their classroom.
Each day of the weeklong workshop
will focus on a different discipline
of science, and each activity will
focus on a Wisconsin science content
standard, to include physical
science, earth science, and life
science. Additionally, the
instructors will bring in a library
of a few hundred books for teachers
to use to develop their own lesson
plans.
The instructors have been teaching a
similar class at UW-Oshkosh for the
past three summers, with each summer
focusing on a different discipline
of science. This summer
workshop will highlight "the best of
the best" from their experiences of
the past three years.
