EXPLORING ENERGY EDUCATION WORKSHOP
FOR 3RD - 8TH GRADE SCIENCE & STEM EDUCATORS
Saturday, February 4, 2023 | 8:00AM - 3:30PM
UNO Oliver St. Pe’/TRAC Center
Presented in partnership with The NEED (National Energy Education Development) Project. Teachers will learn about the forms of energy and energy transformations while exploring the Science of Energy kit.
Plus, we will study the 10 sources of energy. What are they? Where do they come from? How do we use each of the sources of energy. Discover how the different energy sources contribute to the generation of electricity. For a complete itinerary, click here.
The workshop is free and breakfast and lunch are provided. Participating teachers also receive the NEED Science of Energy kit, LEAP aligned curriculum, and a $120 stipend for attending. Space is limited.
The NEED Project designs and delivers teacher-tested educational materials, evaluation techniques and tools, recognition of student achievement and professional development for educators. NEED materials and training programs provide comprehensive, objective information about the scientific concepts of energy and the sources of energy - their use and their impact on the environment, the economy and society.
This workshop is generously funded by the Joe W. and Dorothy Dorsett Brown Foundation. Contact Wendi Moss at wmoss@need.org or call 1-800-875-5029 to learn more. Download and share the flyer.
