EMPOWERING SCIENCE was developed by a “village of experts” comprised of teachers, administrators, educators, scientists, engineers, and students.
Our goal is to provide resources to elementary teachers that help explain current global challenges.
Students
During the COVID 19 Pandemic students were asked to follow public safety guidelines that included wearing masks, washing hands, and social distancing. Some students became anxious and concerned as a result of continuous news headlines of people all over the world being hospitalized and dying. Safety guidelines were initially imposed without young students having any understanding of the science behind the safety guidelines.
Teachers
Our program provides easy-to-follow mini lessons that include a PowerPoint presentation, videos, teacher background materials, teacher lesson summaries, and assessments. Also included are suggestions for teacher demonstration and activities for the classroom.
Administrators
Empowering Science seamlessly integrates the three dimensions of NGSS: Disciplinary Core Ideas, Crosscutting Concepts, and Science and Engineering Practices. Deliberate and intentional scaffolding of learning progressions promotes instructional coherence and consistency across and between grade levels. Additionally, our mini lessons are aligned to CCSS ELA, and CCSS Mathematics, and Social Studies standards. Empowering Science can provide professional development and support for teachers and administrators.
Mini Lessons
The Empowering Science mini lessons are presented through PowerPoint slides, videos, and pre and post assessments. The lessons have been created for grades K-2, grades 3-5, and middle school.
