NILS2024

How do we teach a wide variety of subjects in limited class time while maintaining a joyful and inquisitive atmosphere? Together we will try hands-on activities that bridge the gap between math and science, literacy, social studies, art, and more. We will use fun, engaging activities to inspire curiosity, build confidence in math and science, and demonstrate how they are present throughout our lives.  We will show how the same mathematical principle makes flat maps hard to draw, gives strength to cardboard boxes, and helps us eat thin-crust pizza.  Or how physics, biology, and history have all come together to affect how we spell and pronounce words.  All activities have been extensively play-tested, meet MA curriculum standards, and are appropriate for a wide range of ages (including adults!)
