I attended the Open SciEd training on Wednesday and then went back on Saturday to walk through the Expo. On Wednesday, OpenSciEd trainers led us through the activities for one of the third-grade units.  As a group, we questioned, discussed, and investigated the fruits offered on our school lunch menu, where they are grown on a world map, made conclusions on the climate/growing season, etc. It was a wonderful opportunity to be fully immersed in the concept of phenomena, which is the new method of teaching science, and explore the unit through both the eyes of the student as well as the teacher.  It was extremely helpful!
