| Name: | Physical science Modeling Workshop (sequel: force, motion, intro chem) |
|---|---|
| School/Institution: | Arizona State University |
| Department/Unit: | Physics |
| City: | Tempe |
| State: | AZ |
| Opportunity Type: | Modeling Workshop |
| Teacher Status: | Inservice |

| Description: | As of June 1, several seats are available in this workshop. A sequel to the Modeling Workshop in 1st semester content of physical science with mathematics for grades 8 and 9. Force, motion, and introductory chemistry. Peer leaders: Patricia Burr and Mr. Lee Rodgers of South Mountain High School. They lead the 1st physical science Modeling Workshop, too, on matter and energy (June 13-July 1, 2011). Both physical science workshops are held in their classroom, where they team-teach. A physical science teacher wrote in 2011, "The ASU Modeling program is without question the best program for science teachers I have ever seen. The modeling methodology and the techniques I have learned improved my test scores on standardized tests by significantly large quantities. In one case I can even boast 80% improvement on the terra nova tests the year after I attended my first modeling instruction workshop summer session. The numbers don't lie: this program has made me a much more effective teacher and has given me tools that now my colleagues are starting to incorporate into their classes."
