Trig Star - Trigonometry Competition and Field Day
This year following the competition at the EUPISD, everyone visited the Natural Science Park at Sault Schools to make trigonometry connections to the sundial and solar clock at the park. Then, Mr. Davis and Mr. Rice guided the students in taking gps data of points at the park and then went back to the EUPISD to plot the points and show how this technology is used in the fields of surveying and civil engineering.
Thank you to all teachers and students for your participation and contributions to Trig Star!

PROFESSIONAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES
The Next Generation Science Exemplar is back in the EUP with a partnership with CFRE:
NGSX is a foundational pathway helps participants to progress beyond simply “learning about” three-dimensional learning and helps them to work with resources critical to facilitating three-dimensional learning in their own classrooms. Participants engage as learners in modeling and constructing explanations of complex phenomena just as their students will. They also learn how to use classroom tools such as productive talk and planning whole group discussions to help create a classroom culture in which all students are supported to go public with their reasoning and build on the ideas of their classmates. For more information and registration, please see the NGSX Flyer.
Family Engineering Workshop:
If you are interested in learning more about how to host a Family Engineering event at your school, please register HERE for a three hour workshop which will be held at the EUPISD on June 27. This workshop will include training and starter kit of materials to run a Family Engineering event at your school! See more information in the Family Engineering Flyer.
Cereal City Science Professional Learning page: See this page for upcoming online professional learning workshops with Cereal City Science. We will be working with Cereal City Science to plan for additional elementary and middle school science workshops in the EUP and will share that information in the near future. We also already have September 2022 Science PLC workshops scheduled for Elementary and Middle School!
