Want to capitalize on adolescent desires to work with their friends, use manipulatives, view cool videos, and perform hands-on activities? In this workshop, middle school teachers see how a student-centered unit utilizes a plethora of strategies to engage and motivate high-achieving students as they learn about the microscopic world. Many learning styles are accommodated as students work collegially using GIZMOS, United Streaming, textbooks, and lab tools. The focus of this science unit is principles of diffusion and microscopic organisms, but the desire for gifted students to work actively and collaboratively with their peers is applicable across all content areas.
