Today’s Workshop Goals
 To
become more familiar with the
curriculum outcomes and indicators
connected to Chapters 2, 3, 4
 To try some of the “investigate” and “minilab” activities that support the curriculum
outcomes and inquiry based approach
 To network with other teachers in the
division that are teaching the course –
share ideas, resources, etc
