Making Science Come Alive: Engaging Students in the
Learning Process (continued from session 17).
Description
While most science teachers are experts in their subjects and have a true
passion for science, there is oftena disparity between this passion and
the connection that is made with the students sitting in the classroom.
This session will focus on a variety of strategies that science teachers
can use in their classrooms to help make those connections and engage
the students as active participants in the science classroom.

Description
The Science Education for Public Understanding Program (SEPUP) is bas
ed at the Lawrence Hall of Science, University of California, Berkeley, and develops science instructional materials for grades 6-12 with support from the National Science Foundation. The SEPUP materials are widely used across the country, and six units
were selected by the NYBOE as part of the recent core science curriculum, to be used in grades 7­8. SEPUP features an issue-oriented approach, developing science content through exploration of a diverse set of personal, societal, and environmental issues ­­ such as the disposal of toxic wastes, screening for genetic diseases, cardiovascular health, groundwater pollution, and more. The workshop will provide an overview of the program, and a hands­
on look at program support for inquiry, assessment, literacy and technology. Day Friday Time: 11:10­12:00 Room: Silver 714

Algebra I from an experiential perspective
New York University
Description
Session Title
Since the beginning of the present school year, 9th graders at Boys and
Girls High School (BGHS) in Brooklyn have been learning Algebra in a
very different way. Students and teachers at BGHS have been using the
Algebra Project's experientially-based curriculum materials as the basis
for their Algebra I course. In these materials students learning is built
around a small set of engaging experiences which provide a constant
reference for the more abstract concepts of Algebra I. The BGHS Student
Presentation Group will provide, explain, and discuss examples of the
Algebra concepts they have been studying for the past eight months.
