  • Water Filtration Challenge – Learn how to filter and recycle water for varying applications, ranging from agriculture to providing clean drinking water to astronauts.
  • Watershed Education – Experience NGSS by using the concept of watersheds as a lens to explore hands-on engagement in scientific practices in the classroom and the outdoors.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the Center for the Collaborative Classroom and the National Science Teachers Association have teamed up with the Los Angeles County Office of Education to offer a series of professional development workshops. These free half-day events focus on exciting science themes and are designed to help teachers bring NGSS practices into the classroom. Hosted by experts, each workshop is an opportunity to see real-world applications of NGSS, ensuring meaningful context to take back to your students.
