Battle Creek Science Kit Training Available this Spring at GVSU Regional Math and Science Center

Battle Creek Science Kit training will be held at the Regional Math and Science Center on the GVSU Allendale campus in Spring 2012.

The Battle Creek Area Mathematics and Science Center has developed a Kindergarten through Seventh grade inquiry-based science curriculum that is aligned with the Michigan Grade Level Content Expectations. The purpose of the program is to provide good, inquiry-based science instruction in the classroom with opportunities for students to engage in all four strands of science proficiency (physical science, life science, Earth science, and inquiry and technology). The curriculum provides teachers with classroom instruction that includes opportunities for interaction in the classroom, where students carry out investigations, talk and write about their observations and emerging understandings, and discuss ways to test them. Each unit undergoes an extensive development and evaluation process.

Kit training offered at GVSU this spring include:
2LS – A Plant’s Life - Thursday, March 1, 8:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
1LS – An Animal’s Life – Friday, March 2, 8:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.
4LS – Organisms in Their Environment – Monday, March 5, 8:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

Visit the RMSC website for the schedule, registration form, and detailed information. (Registration is through the Battle Creek Area Math and Science Center).

More information about the kits may be found at the Battle Creek Area Math and Science Center website.
