Essential Elements Workshop

The Chemical Educational Foundation created the You Be The Chemist Essential Elements program to provide K-8 educators nationwide with professional development to empower educators to teach science through hands-on activities and real-world applications. These professional development workshops are 100% funded by our sponsors and donors and are schedule at absolutely no cost to schools or educators. I am contacting you to see if you would be interested in bringing a FREE, hands-on science workshop to your organization. Essential Elements workshops provide educators with: • A CEF giveaway bag that includes a flash drive with 50+ Activity Guide experiments, which educators can bring right to their learners. The activities use household materials and are affordable, easy to do, and can be done in any space. All of our activities come with background information for the educator and editable student-facing documents. • A chance to see the 5E Instructional Model in action! This model, centered around student-driven inquiry, allows students to build their own understanding of new concepts from both old ideas and their own experiences. • Opportunity to collaborate with other educators to help plan their own 5E lessons using additional activities from the Activity Guides. I hope you consider this professional development opportunity for your organization. I can run a free workshop for a minimum of 6 people. If you are interested, please contact CEF on their website to discuss potential dates and times.
