[NMScience] GEMS Workshops for Lower Elementary / Pre-K educators

[Davis, Susan, DCA]

May 

 

Liquid Exploration 

Saturday, May 2, 9:00 am to Noon 

Wemagination Center 

 

In a series of fun, fluid activities young students explore the
properties of liquids.  They play a classification game, observe how
food coloring moves thought different liquids, create secret
salad-dressing recipes, and make an "ocean in a bottle."  Through these
activities children develop skills in observing, comparing, classifying,
recording observations, and drawing conclusions.

 

  

Level: Grade 1-3 Teachers 

Cost: $20.00 (includes GEMS curriculum) 

 

 

 

Penguins and their Young 

Saturday, May 16, 9:00 am to Noon 

Wemagination Center 

 

Penguins often hold a certain fascination for children. Perhaps this is
because the comical, black and white bird seems like one of them.  It
stands upright as they do and it can be as tall as many preschoolers.
Penguins and Their Young teaches about the emperor penguin, the tallest
of the penguins.  Youngsters learn about its body structure, its cold
home of ice and water, what it eats, and how emperor penguins' parents
take care of their young.

 

Level: Pre-K though grade 1 Teachers 

Cost: $30.00 (includes GEMS curriculum)
