How can we build inquiry experiences around science kits? In this webinar, participants will explore how to get the most out of kit- based science programs, from planning learning sequences with both process and content goals, to designing workshop model lessons that engage students as thinkers. Join Wendy Ward Hoffer, author of Science as Thinking (Heinemann, 2009) and director of education at the Denver-based Public Education and Business Coalition (PEBC), for the first installment of this year's Inquiry Shop series.

Objects and artifacts can be a great source of excitement and curiosity in your classroom, but how do you get past basic questions and craft inquiry-based experiences and raise your students' curiosity to the next level of questioning and understanding? Even objects found in your classroom can enhance your abilities to challenge students to ask questions and deepen their critical thinking skills, not only in science but all subject areas.
Join veteran middle school teacher and Museum educator Sharon Reiter for a practical discussion of how to use objects and targeted questioning to enrich the culture of inquiry and collaboration in your classroom. This is the second webinar in the Inquiry Shop Series.

Join us for this webinar for educators about the temporary exhibition A Day in Pompeii. What was life like in this ancient city of the Roman Empire? How does this culture still influence us today? And why does the destruction of Pompeii resonate so heavily with Americans and Westerners in general? Take a tour with us and find ways to make this amazing discovery more meaningful for your students through personal perspectives and comparisons of life then and now.
Join Dr. Steve Nash, DMNS chair and curator of archaeology in the Anthropology Department, and Samantha Richards, the Museum's earth sciences educator, for this webinar for teachers grades 5-12, or any educators interested in the topic.
