This session will focus on the preparation needed to effectively instruct students in the second grade “Form and Function” module of Project Lead the Way (PLTW). PLTW can be a difficult curriculum for early career and veteran teachers alike to learn to navigate. In this session, we will focus on understanding the structure of the curriculum, locating helpful resources for teaching the lessons, and previewing activities students will be completing in the module.The goal of the session is that all teachers will leave feeling more comfortable and confident in their ability to facilitate their students’ learning of the science standards using the PLTW curriculum.

- Locate necessary resources used to teach the “Form and Function” PLTW module.
- Utilize both the teacher and student editions on the PLTW website, increasing their comfortability and familiarity with the website and activities in the module.
- Preview the activities in the “Form and Function” PLTW module in order to prepare to effectively facilitate instruction.
