We can't wait to see you in Orlando. Join us at Booth 413 to talk with Jeff England and Bill Gipperich of Lab-Aids about our inquiry and hands-on programs.
Also, don't miss out on our hands-on workshop in Room Osceola 5.
Reclaiming the Metal
Thursday, July 13, 2017
8:00am - 9:00am
In this activity from the SEPUP middle level physical science program, participants role play a scenario involving pre-treatment of copper containing liquid wastes from computer circuit board manufacture. They examine trade-offs of metal replacement and chemical precipitation, techniques actually used in industrial applications, and in so doing, come to understand the science behind complex environmental issues.

NGSS Waves - Make an abstract concept become visible!
Thursday, July 13, 2017
9:30am - 10:30am
Experience two exemplary NGSS aligned activities from SEPUP that build up to MS-PS4-2. Anchored in the context of health issues around various types and levels of wave exposure, these workshop activities model seamless integration of the three-dimensions, ELA, math standards. We will explore the relationship between visible light frequency and energy through the use of a phosphorescent material and use light boxes to explore reflection and refraction.

Investigating a Cliff Model
Friday, July 14, 2017
8:00am - 9:00am
When is the last time you engineered a coastal breakwater? Here's your chance! Engineer a coastal breakwater (from the Issues and Earth Science "Erosion and Deposition" unit from LAB-AIDS) and analyze the trade-o s of the design. Explore how the natural world is influenced by our engineered world, which in turn creates more societal issues that must be solved through science and engineering practices. Activities exemplify Next Generation Frameworks and show how SEPUP embeds the engineering practices and uses real issues to powerfully deliver content learning.

Motions, Graphs, Speed & Collisions
Friday, July 14, 2017
9:30am - 10:30am
Using specially-designed carts, tracks, and weights, students investigate the role of mass and speed in collisions. This workshop uses materials from the force and motion unit of the SEPUP middle level physical science program. Participants will explore the development of concepts in an issues-based approach that studies applications of Newton's Laws in a context of automobile safety.
