Early Childhood Hands-On Science (ECHOS)

Teacher Workshops

Are your students getting enough science in their diet? Don’t miss the chance to check out this hands-on workshop designed for the early childhood educator. Participants develop techniques needed to present age-appropriate science concepts using an investigative and interactive format. Each participant receives the ECHOS Teacher’s Guide that includes lessons to support science instruction, vocabulary, resources and at-home activities for parents. The ECHOS Teacher’s Guide is available for purchase separately.

Expand your technology skills by adding a hands-on computer workshop Exploring Online Resources for Early Childhood Science Education, to your workshop.
