The STEM Education Center at WPI and the EcoTarium have teamed to create this PD that unpacks the second NGSS practice: Developing and Using Models. In the morning, participants will examine a variety of ways to model/represent a phenomenon and discuss the ways that scientists, engineers, and mathematicians use models in their daily work. Participants will then engage in a hands on engineering activity related to developing and using models. In the afternoon, participants will explore the planetarium as a model and then go on a scavenger hunt to find models in the museum that correlate to their STE standards.
