Title: K'nex in the Science Classroom - Building, Problem-Solving, and Modeling
Course ID #: 041709

Time: 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Date: Friday, April 17, 2009
Location: CMSCE lab
Cost: $195
Presenter(s): Jackie Halaw
Audience: Grade 4-12 Teachers, Supervisors, Special Ed Teachers

Description:
Come learn how K’NEX toys can be used in the science classroom. We will explore how these toys can be used to engage students while providing rich science experiences that are aligned to the NJ CCCS for Science. We will demonstrate activities related to motion and forces, design, life science, and much more! K’NEX allow students to build functioning science models and creatively solve problems. We will explore the wealth of science lesson plans located online that incorporate K’NEX. Lastly, we will discuss methods of obtaining these materials even on a limited classroom budget.

Objectives:

Participants will learn strategies for integrating K’NEX toys in the science classroom.

Participants will learn resources for science lesson plans using K’NEX toys.

Benefits:

5 professional development hours

free eBoard for one year

Great resources that you can begin using immediately.
