FAQS

Will I receive a certificate of hours?

Yes. If you attend the entire 2.5 hour session, you will receive a certificate prior to leaving.

No, you may come to the workshops of your choice; however, we do encourage you to attend all of the Tidbits to help build your ECE learning community and increase your science teaching knowledge and skills.

This workshop will focus on understanding the difference between a rock and a mineral. We will teach you to build on children's natural tendencies to collect and sort the rocks they find.

Join us for an inquiry approach to science that includes playful exploration, planned investigations, and tips on providing intentional support for the development of science process skills. In this workshop we explore Earth Systems Science by building on children's interests in rocks. Our focus is on understanding the difference between a rock and a mineral, and using a variety of ways to sort and classify.
