Exploring Earth & Sky: Navigating Stellarium, SOS Explorer and Universe Sandbox
Wednesday July 9, 2025 1:30pm - 2:30pm MDT
Room #135
Bring Earth and space science to life with three powerful, free digital tools your students will love! This hands-on session introduces Stellarium, Universe Sandbox, and NOAA’s Science On a Sphere Explorer (SOSx)—interactive platforms that make complex science concepts more engaging and accessible.

Use Stellarium to take your students on a virtual journey through the night sky. They'll model lunar phases, eclipses, and seasons, explore planetary motion, and visualize the Sun-Earth-Moon system.

Then, experiment with Universe Sandbox, a physics-based space simulator where students can create their own solar systems, simulate orbital dynamics, and investigate gravitational interactions—an innovative way to deepen understanding of planetary motion and forces.

Finally, dive into SOS Explorer, a tool for visualizing real-world data on Earth’s systems. Students can explore weather patterns, long-term data, atmospheric circulation, and the natural greenhouse effect with interactive datasets from NOAA.

Each of these tools supports the Utah 6th Grade SEEd Standards, with strong alignment to Strand 6.1 (Structure and Motion within the Solar System) and Strand 6.3 (Earth’s Weather Patterns and Climate). The session emphasizes three-dimensional learning by incorporating scientific modeling, data analysis, and systems thinking.

Participants will leave with practical strategies, classroom-ready resources, and inspiration to integrate these tools into inquiry-based lessons. Whether you're new to digital platforms or looking to expand your toolkit, this session will help you elevate your science instruction.

Rhythm, Rhyme, and the Hip-Hop Canon
Wednesday July 9, 2025 1:30pm - 2:30pm MDT
Room #144
What literary qualities earn a text a place in the canon? Who gets to decide? Shakespeare wisely wrote, “Even the genius asks his questions.” …Actually, Tupac Shakur penned those words. Does their value change if the author does?
What if we expanded our definition of essential literature? This session explores the literary evolution of Hip-Hop, from its cultural roots in the Bronx, NY, to its impact as a powerful form of expression. Using East High School’s 11th & 12th-grade ELA topics courses as a case study, we’ll examine how Hip-Hop texts align with Utah’s Common Core State Standards. Participants will step into the role of students, experiencing a sample lesson with texts and activities that illuminate Hip-Hop’s influence beyond music—revealing it as a lens for understanding identity, history, and the world. Walk away with practical strategies to bring Hip-Hop into your classroom and redefine what it means to teach literature.

The ultimate goal of reading is comprehension. Recently, great strides have been made throughout Utah to update reading practices to better align with the Science of Reading.
