These workshops can be taken as a series or as stand-alone ses sions: attend one or all. \;See the grey "related content" box below for links to the other four workshops in this series. Participants will come away from each session having experienced several lessons and activi ties that can be implemented in their classroom the very next day. A teac her's guide\, student handouts\, and supply lists will be provided for ea ch lesson. This series will prepare you to effectively engage your K-5 c lassroom in a variety of fun science lessons that work for various levels of student independence. \;Questions this session will explore inclu de: How do scientists make measurements? What is the metric system? How do we measure length? How do we measure volume or capacity? How do we mea sure mass or weight? How do we measure time? What are the other quantitie s that we measure? What is the difference between an indirect measurement and a direct measurement? How do we measure something like the size of t he Earth or the size of an atom?
