How can a very den se substance like a steel ship float? What role does the fluid play in fl oating? What is the definition of density? How do we express density math ematically? How do we measure density? How do we calculate density? Can w e sort objects using density? What role does density play in arranging el ements on the periodic table?About \;Exploring the Concept of Matter in Elementary School ScienceThese 5 workshops are designed to be accessib le as either a series or as stand-alone sessions. Each session will incl ude content\, activities\, and teaching methods appropriate for K-5 class rooms. A variety of teaching techniques will be modeled. Special emphasi s will be placed on effective use of inquiry at various levels of student independence. We will address how to integrate the topic of matter into math and literacy lessons\, and vice versa. \; Credit option: \ ;This workshop is part of the "Science Series (https://graduate.lclark.ed u/live/news/17252-20122013-workshop-series-credit-options)". Each worksho p can be taken individually or in sequence\, with the option to purchase 1 semester hour of continuing education credit after completing all 5 in the series. Registration for credit will occur at the last workshop in th is series.Instructor: \;Joseph Minato\, M.T.E.
