Join us for an engaging and interactive professional development session designed for educators! This workshop will introduce Patterns in the Sky, a fourth-grade earth and space science unit that is part of the Expeditions in Science curriculum.
The curriculum was written and developed by Texas Museums 360, a partnership between The Witte Museum in San Antonio and Space Center Houston. The curriculum consists of a series of engaging lessons centered around museum resources and integrating three-dimensional, phenomenon-based learning aligned with the revised TEKS. In this workshop, we will explore lessons about the patterns of the movement of the Earth, Sun, and Moon in our Solar System and how this affects our view of the Moon from Earth.
Why should you register?
This workshop is perfect for educators looking to inspire the next generation of scientists, thinkers, and explorers. Walk away with tools and resources to bring the wonders of the Moon to life in your classroom.
