This interactive K–5 science session demonstrates how integrating technology and gifted pedagogy makes hands-on learning possible for all students. Participants will engage in a quick “explore before explain” lab and examine how this instructional shift increased science SOL pass rates, including significant gains for students with disabilities. Educators will explore ready-to-use, elevated investigations, learn practical tech integration strategies, and gain coaching tools to support implementation. This session empowers educators to lead and/or create engaging, inquiry-based science experiences that build critical thinking and future-ready learners.
