Join us to explore the use of fiction to help make
complex topics like evolution, heredity, and natural selection more fun,
understandable, and meaningful for elementary students.
TAKEAWAYS:
Participants will learn how to: 1. conduct example activities using a fictional story that can help integrate science and ELA topics; 2. engage students in science and literature by scaffolding their learning with inquiry-based and hands-on activities related to a fictional story; and 3. apply these examples and strategies to other science content using other fictional titles.
SPEAKERS:
