Abstract
With the inclusion of light in the Connecticut Science Standards for 5th grade, classroom teachers were faced with teaching an unfamiliar content area. At EASTCONN, a regional education service center, we were asked to provide teachers with professional development workshops which include essential background knowledge; assist with selecting curriculum aligned with the standards and which fit into an already packed teaching schedule; formative assessments; and finally, ensure that the curriculum provided students with inquiry-based, engaging hands-on lessons. In this paper, we will explore addressing these challenges and demonstrate engaging lessons aligned with the standards.
