“July 23-24, teachers met in the
Science Center on the campus at Wisconsin Lutheran College for
Operation Science training sessions. The first day, the teachers
took part in using the skills of science (observing,
communicating, measuring, inferring, making models, and using the
scientific method) as they participated in several hands-on
lessons. The second day, teachers received training in a unit of
their choice. (Units offered were Fabric, Organisms, Balancing and
Weighing, Rocks and Minerals, Sound, Electric Circuits, Mixtures
and Solutions, and Motion and Design) Teachers spent the day
experiencing hands-on lessons that are part of each unit. Once
teachers receive this training, they are qualified to rent the
unit for their own classroom to use. “
