Teaching Scientific Inquiry with Gizmos
Audience: Grade 3-12 science teachers | Prerequisite: Previous experience using Gizmos in the classroom
About the Workshop
Teaching Scientific Inquiry with Gizmos prepares teachers to use the inquiry process and Gizmos to support the development of deeper student understanding of important science concepts. The instructor models best practices for teaching with Gizmos in science, demonstrating a progression of inquiry that develops students' scientific inquiry skills. Teachers become more skillful in using inquiry methods of instruction, which encourage students to ask questions, make observations, and construct reasonable explanations.
Participants will:
Understand the inquiry method of science instruction and develop inquiry teaching skills.
Learn best practices for using Gizmos to support student inquiry in science.
Plan science lessons using inquiry and appropriate Gizmos, and share lesson ideas with colleagues.

“I just wanted to say thank you for an outstanding professional development training on Gizmos last evening. I can see why this is your favorite training - it was really good! Teachers were really engaged and feedback was very positive! Using inquiry really takes the Gizmos to another level and the teachers were clearly excited about that. I have already heard some of them are using some of the strategies in their classrooms for next week!! ”
