On September 28th, 16 teachers and educators gathered at Cascade View Elementary School in Tukwila to participate in IslandWood’s “NGSS in Action: Science in the Schoolyard” workshop. Together, they dove into discussions of “three dimensional” science learning, and practiced identifying local phenomena in a schoolyard.

Teachers discuss how Interest and Identity can be incorporated into NGSS’ Three Dimensional Learning
Teachers and educators left with a variety of practical tools and documents to further integrate their science curriculum into their schools, neighborhoods, and community spaces.

Workshop teams engage in the full eight Science and Engineering Practices – including “Planning and Carrying out an Investigation”!
