CURRICULUM<br />

Adventures in Science and Math<br />

R‰s 2<br />

We believe that many guiding principles<br />

of physics and math are happening during<br />

the course of children’s play every<br />

day. In this multi-session workshop, we<br />

will explore and use common materials<br />

as props to help teachers see the<br />

underlying physics that happen or could<br />

happen in their programs. Participants<br />

will be actively involved in physics activities.<br />

Each participant will be challenged<br />

to try activities with their children using<br />

props they’ve made or that are easily<br />

obtainable. Observations, brainstorming,<br />

and sharing ensue over the course of this<br />

multi-session workshop.<br />
