The Pressure is on: Using SEEd to Design Highly Effective 3D Lessons

Thursday July 10, 2025 9:45am - 10:45am MDT

Having participated in the 3-Dimensional Rural Science Teacher Grant this past year, we have crafted an intentional lesson that effectively integrates the Science and Engineering Practices, Cross Cutting Concepts, and Disciplinary Core Ideas. Attendees will share what they have observed using a student hat and a teacher hat to experience SEEd design to create their own highly effective 3D lesson. Our example lesson “The Pressure's On: How Air Mass Movement Shapes Our Weather” aims to help students investigate and analyze data to observe the interactions between air masses that cause changes in weather conditions (Utah 6.3.2, ESS2.C, Ess2.D, MS-ESS2-5).

Room #141

NOTE: This is the first of a two session presentation. Attending the first part is not required to attend the second.

This presentation is for mathematics teachers and anyone else who has dabbled in trigonometry but never really understood it. Come learn things about trigonometry that you never knew. We will take an in-depth look into right triangle trigonometry and the meaning behind each of the ratios sine, cosine, and tangent. We will then extend this knowledge in a practical way to build the graphical representation for each of the ratios. The goal is for all attendees to have a solid understanding of the relationships between the angles and the side lengths of a triangle.

Understanding Weather: Heat, Water, and Air

Thursday July 10, 2025 9:45am - 12:10pm MDT

Room #146

Clark Planetarium offers teacher resources aligned with sixth grade SEEd standards. In this session, participants will explore our Energy and Weather kits (Strands 6.3 and 6.4) and Density kits (Strands 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3). Hands-on investigations reveal how different materials retain and release heat, supporting an understanding of how the Sun drives weather patterns. Participants will collect experimental data, graph and compare the effects of heat energy, and link their findings to local, regional, and global phenomena. We’ll also demonstrate how a two-compartment tank can model the role of heat energy in driving ocean and atmospheric currents. These resources emphasize three-dimensional learning, support data analysis practices, and help bring complex Earth systems to life in the classroom.

Sine Curves and Spaghetti

Thursday July 10, 2025 11:10am - 12:10pm MDT

Room #141

NOTE: This is the second of a two session presentation. Attending the first part is not required to attend the second.

This presentation is for mathematics teachers and anyone else who has dabbled in trigonometry but never really understood it. Students often find it hard to connect right triangle trigonometry to the curves of the sine and cosine function. In this session we will be building large unit circles and cleverly linking it to models of the sine and cosine curves using spaghetti. This allows students to easily transition from triangles to function curves. Even if you are not a mathematics teacher

Kinesthetic Astronomy

Thursday July 10, 2025 1:40pm - 4:10pm MDT

Room #146

In our hands-on session, we will practice how to implement kinesthetic activities aligned with fourth-grade SEEd standards, specifically Strand 4.4. We will develop models for day/night cycles, changing constellations throughout the year, and for why our Sun is the brightest star. By using our bodies to model the Earth, participants will demonstrate how rotation and revolution cause the cycles of day and night and changing constellations throughout the year. Participants will also become individual stars by holding an LED light as they investigate how distance relates to perceived brightness and will work together to form the constellation of Orion. This session will emphasize the use of models and how they provide evidence for constructing explanations of astronomical phenomena. Clark Planetarium is pleased to offer a kit of free, take-away materials for teachers to apply the activities in their classroom.
