Field Trip for Teachers at The Lawrence Hall of Science - October 2, 2014

Join CRS and our host, the Lawrence Hall of Science (the Hall), for an afternoon of learning and fun. Our Field Trip for Teachers is designed to be your chance explore the Hall and meet a gecko up close, try an engineering challenge, and even more that your students could do on a field trip. You'll also be able to talk with Hall educators about great resources to support science learning in your classroom, from supporting english language learners in science to supporting you with NGSS.

Following our program, teachers will be welcome to stay for the Educator Open House. CRS member special preview and behind the scenes event: 4 pm -5:30; LHS Educator Open House from 5:30 - 8:00 PM
