Past Teacher Workshops

 

In the past LIGO has conducted teacher workshops on topics such as Sound, Light, Waves, Gravity, Electricity & Magnetism, Inquiry and Engineering.  We concentrate on teachers' use of interactives and exploration of the world around them utilizing very inexpensive materials.

If you click on a past workshop then you'll be taken to a page that documents the major interactives and activities explored in that workshop.
