Session 2 will provide participants with an in-depth opportunity to explore the three required Chemistry Investigations developed to align with the New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS). These performance tasks offer authentic, hands-on scientific and engineering experiences that allow students to demonstrate their understanding chemistry concepts and scientific practices in a real-world context.
Chemistry teachers and science administrators will deepen their understanding of the NYSSLS and the expectations for three-dimensional student learning. Participants will learn how these investigations are designed to prepare students for the type of scientific reasoning and application they will encounter on the Physical Setting: Chemistry Regents examination.
Workshop highlights include:
•A demonstration of how each investigation aligns with NYSSLS performance expectations and dimensions of learning
•Discussion on how the investigations function as assessments of student learning
•Hands-on experience with the Chemistry Investigations to model classroom implementation
•Collaboration time to develop strategies for successful integration into existing curricula
Please Note:
Participants must bring paper copies of each Chemistry Investigation's documents. These will not be provided at the workshop.
Participants should plan to attend both days (12/2/25 & 12/15/25) to have the opportunity to explore all three investigations, buteach is a separate registration.
Participants should bring a fully charged laptop, iPad, or tablet to download resources and access digital tools during the session.
