Cobb Science

As we enter the last month of school, we want to thank you for all the hard work you've done with your students this year. With the stress of testing over (or almost over) we hope that you'll take the opportunity to try out something new these last few weeks. Have you been interested in trying a PBL? Go for it! Want to incorporate a STEM challenge into your class? Now is the time! If you need assistance, ideas, or resources, please reach out to us in the science office. We're glad to support you.

Please save the date for the following science events during the 2016-2017 school year:

Cogent Interactive Case Studies for Biology: A Problem Solving Approach, June 2nd, 8:30-11:30 am, South Cobb High School
This session will introduce teachers to interactive on-line case studies that are designed to help students learn difficult biological concepts through inquiry and problem solving. Each case provides a captivating real-world scenario where students solve problems by making observations, collecting and analyzing data, forming and testing hypotheses, and communicating their findings. As students complete their explorations, teachers receive immediate formative assessments to guide teachers in identifying which concepts and skills require additional study. Register here
