CSI (COMPLETE SCIENCE INVESTIGATIONS) - JOHN MUIR STYLE

INSTRUCTOR(S):  Bruce Oxley, Arbor Vitae-Woodruff School, Arbor Vitae
GRADE LEVEL:  2-6


Looking for a fun filled week of science adventures:  Tired of science activities that refuse to work the  way the textbook says or experiments that lack adequate background for the students and you?  Then what you need is a week of CSI (Complete Science Investigations) John Muir Academy Style.  During the week, you will be actively engaged in a variety of standards based, teacher tested experiments, lab activities, "hooks & whelmers," and discrepant events that promote student inquiry, critical thinking, problem solving, and the development and enhancement of science skills.  Each investigation will include easy to understand content, literature and other academic area tie-ins, and meaningful and effective assessment options.  This is one week that will bring out the excitement of teaching science, and spark genuine interest and involvement from your students!!  Not to mention daily door prizes.  You'll have so much fun, you may even forget that it's summer.
