SITE: K-2 Science is a nine-day institute (five days in the summer and four days during the 2008 -2009 school year) that focuses on the major themes that run through the North Carolina Standard Course of Study in Science. Instruction for each topic area will begin with mapping K-2 Essential Learning using Curriculum Topic Study (CTS). Topics included in this institute are:
| Earth Systems: | Weather Features; Earth Materials; Energy from the Sun; Earth Materials and How They are Used |
| Force and Matter: | Building Blocks of Matter; Properties of Matter; Energy Transformers and Phase Changes; Properties of Force |
| Living Organisms: | Needs of Organisms, Cycles of Life, Diversity of Organisms |
The institute is designed to deepen participants’ science content knowledge, as well as strengthen their ability to encourage inquiry and curiosity in young children. Participants will examine misconceptions and reflect together on instructional strategies designed to engage primary grade students. In addition, an emphasis will be placed on the authentic integration of literacy, mathematics, and technology.
