This content-rich session offers grades 5–8 science educators an in-depth exploration of wave phenomena, emphasizing the fundamental differences between transverse and longitudinal waves. Participants will examine the physical principles governing wave behavior, including frequency, wavelength, amplitude, and energy transfer. The session also provides a comprehensive look at the electromagnetic spectrum—its organization, characteristics of each region, and how wave properties vary across the spectrum. Grounded in the TEKS, this session is designed to enhance educators’ conceptual understanding and provide a solid foundation for teaching wave-related content with confidence and accuracy.
This content-rich session offers grades 5-8 science educators with an in-depth exploration of how the Sun, hydrosphere, and atmosphere interact to influence the water cycle and Earth’s weather. The goal is to boost teacher background knowledge and inspire educators to want to learn more about weather phenomena. The session will be facilitated by guest presenter, Dr. David Pitts, a retired NASA scientist and UHCL professor of Geoscience.
Unlock the power of visual learning in vocabulary instruction with this dynamic professional development session focused on the QSSSA (Question, Signal, Stem, Share, Assess) strategy. In this engaging workshop, educators will discover how to seamlessly integrate visual elements into their vocabulary lessons, creating a more interactive and effective learning experience for students.
In this in-depth session for grades 5–8 science educators, participants will explore how force acting on an object’s position and motion serves as the foundation for understanding Newton’s Laws of Motion. Through a conceptual deep dive, educators will examine how changes in position, speed, and direction result from the interaction of forces—laying the groundwork for key physical science principles. Emphasis will be placed on building a strong content foundation aligned with TEKS, clarifying common misconceptions, and connecting observable motion to the fundamental laws that govern it.
