Online Submission
This program focused on exploring science and mathematics content and pedagogy for elementary and middle grades, pre-service teachers, including those students preparing to teach in regular and exceptional education classrooms. A total of 31 individuals participated in one or more workshops. The activities contained within the Lego BricQ Motion Essential kit and the Lego BricQ Motion Prime kit comprised the content of the workshops, and emphasized force and motion concepts. All activities were correlated to kindergarten through eighth-grade Tennessee academic standards for science, mathematics, and English language arts. The program timeline included three spring 2021 Saturday sessions and two spring 2022 Saturday sessions. Participants indicated the need for classroom-based activities to be taught through active methods and to be related to real-world concepts. The program was funded through the Tennessee Space Grant Consortium.
