Public Service Company of Oklahoma, in conjunction with Tulsa Public Schools, will sponsor a free workshop for Oklahoma science teachers who instruct grades 5-12.  This is the fifth year for the company to offer the workshop, Experimental Design, to Oklahoma science teachers.
 
The workshop is open to all Oklahoma educators and directly aligns with science process PASS standards.  PASS stands for Priority Academic Student Skills, which is state-mandated curriculum.  The workshop is designed to provide effective strategies for teachers to help students develop the needed skills to successfully conduct analyze and report experiments.
 
The workshop will be held at the Fulton Teaching & Learning Academy at 8906 East 34^th street in Tulsa from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on June 20-22.  Participants will also tour a gas-fired generating station in Tulsa, Oklahoma.   
 
Participants will receive instructional materials to help teach experimental design; the book, Students and Research, by Cothron, Giese and Rezba; and practical strategies for conducting experimental research, authentic assessment and working with parents.
