5th and 6th grade science classrooms are about to get a high-energy boost! On October 6th, Mrs. Burden, 6th-grade science, and Mrs. Jones, 5th-grade science, attended the specialized Science of Energy professional development workshop in Wichita.
The interactive training session is part of a long-standing national partnership between the National Energy Education Development (NEED) Project and Phillips 66. Designed to equip teachers with cutting-edge STEM resources, the workshop focuses on translating complex energy concepts into exciting, hands-on classroom experiences.
Following their training, both Mrs. Burden and Mrs. Jones walked away with their own comprehensive, free classroom energy kits. Packed with specialized scientific equipment and state-standard-aligned curriculums, these kits will allow their 5th and 6th-grade students to dive directly into interactive experiments exploring energy transformations and how it powers our world.
With their new tools in hand, these teachers are ready to spark curiosity, fuel scientific discovery, and inspire the next generation of STEM leaders right here at Bluestem Elementary.
