A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

I am really looking forward to spending a day sharing with you what I have found really works in the K-6 science classroom! As a fellow teacher, I have spent over 35 years searching for and creating the most powerful science activities and projects. And if you have any hesitancy about increasing hands-on experiences in your science curriculum, let me assure you that it will be much easier once you finish this seminar!

During this strategy-packed day, I will share numerous ready-to-use, classroom-proven activities and projects. My activities use easily available and inexpensive materials that don't take hours of planning or prep time. Helping students develop competency with the practices across the four core areas of science is at the heart of my instruction and has driven my work to create lessons that push students to think critically while collaborating in productive ways with their peers.

This is an exciting time in science for both teachers and students! I hope you will join me and your colleagues for a day filled with unique and creative ideas to make the most of your science instruction. Your students will be motivated, excited and ready to explore science and engineering and solve real-world problems!

Sincerely,
Brad Fulton

P.S. Be prepared for a hands-on, interactive day that will leave you with practical strategies and ideas you can use immediately to increase the effectiveness of your science instruction.
