From Simple to Spectacular: Making Science Magical in Elementary Classrooms

Wednesday July 29, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm MDT

TBA

Bring the magic of STEM to life with simple, engaging science experiences designed for real classrooms. In this interactive session, presenters will model quick, hands-on activities aligned to Idaho Content Standards for Science grades K–5. Inspired by the idea of “favorite demonstrations,” each activity is easy to implement, uses accessible materials, and is grounded in meaningful scientific phenomena.

Participants will actively engage in 1–2 ready-to-use activities per grade level, while building confidence in facilitating science learning. Beyond the “wow” factor, we’ll focus on how these experiences support student thinking, discussion, and sensemaking.

Attendees will leave with practical strategies, classroom-ready ideas, and approachable phenomena to immediately integrate into their instruction, helping every educator feel confident bringing the magic of science to their students.
