A series of workshops at
California State University, Fresno

June 16-20, 2008 | Lyles Center

Learn dozens of hands-on learning activities that kids love that teach them many of the physical science standards plus the methods of science. Replace traditional approaches to teaching science with ones that really engage students in learning.  

Curiosity explodes, energy levels rise, learning occurs—while you do less work!  

We’ve given these workshops in 13 countries and throughout the US. Teachers in Lapland, the Caribbean, India, and Ohio all love our approach.  

You can use these methods and activities:

In the classroom. Watch interest grow–within 2 minutes of starting.

After School. You leave with a curriculum for a full year of creative, hands-on after-school activities.

Summer camps. Take away one or more curriculum for some of the most popular week-long summer camps.
