Concurrent Sessions and Events
Presentations and Workshops
More than 300 presentations and workshops have been scheduled at the Portland conference. Sessions are classified by subject matter (Biology/Life Science, Chemistry/Physical Science, Earth/Space Science, Environmental Science, Integrated/General, or Physics/Physical Science). Sessions are further identified by audience level (Preschool, Elementary, Middle Level, High School, College, Supervision/Administration, Informal Education, or some combination of levels). Generally one hour in length, all are open to registrants at no additional cost. Popular sessions fill quickly, however, and it is recommended that you arrive early to ensure a seat.

Exhibitor Workshops
Exhibitor-sponsored workshops for science teachers are offered throughout the conference. These workshops give you an opportunity to use a variety of commercial instructional materials. The number of participants for each is limited by the size of the room, but tickets are not required. Attendance is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Information on exhibitor workshops will be available in August.
