Curiosity Project Participants  

This summer, 27 Cobb County teachers from 6 different elementary schools participated in a week long Curiosity Workshop that  provided elementary teachers with opportunities to participate in activities designed to rekindle curiosity and build understanding. As part of a collaborative effort of Kennesaw State University and the Cobb County Schools, the workshop focused on unusual and counterintuitive events in our world  that naturally arouse interest and promote active investigation. During the week, teachers also developed lessons that will provide opportunities for their students to actively investigate the questions and problems that interest them. Teachers will implement these and other inquiry-based, integrated science lessons during the course of the school year. It is hoped that though these collaborative explorations, both students and teachers will grow in their understanding and appreciation for scientific inquiry.
