This ten-day institute (five days in the summer and four days during the 2008-2009 school year and a classroom implementation project) will focus on the four major science themes that cut across the North Carolina Standard Course of Study for Science, Grades 3-5. Emphasis will be placed on science content and authentic integration of literacy, mathematics, and technology into the curriculum. The institute will model best practices in science pedagogy. Assessment in science and managing science materials will be included in this institute. The institute themes include:
| Rock Cycle | soil properties, composition/uses of rocks and minerals, & landforms |
| Ecology | plant growth and adaptations, animal behavior and adaptations, & interdependence of plants and animals |
| Energy/Forces | light, heat, magnetism and electricity, & forces and motion |
| Weather and Climate | wind direction & speed, precipitation, cloud cover, air pressure, weather patterns, influence of geography on weather |
