  4. Help Keep Me Enjoying Teaching

  5. Help Me Teach So Students Want To Learn

  6. Help Me Teach Them How To Think

  7. Help Me Teach Them Science

  8. PRE- PROJECTEDUCATE THE TEACHER • Send teacher to sit in on science planning sessions or conferences. • Provide teacher with background materials about the project and the science. • Provide specific formal training on the science involved in the project.

  9. EDUCATE THE SCIENTISTS AND THE PUBLIC • Thoroughly prep scientists. • Distribute press releases.

  10. I’M HERE--NOW WHAT? • Definite, but flexible meaningful tasks. • “Adequate” amount of time with different scientists and projects. • Constant access to revisit research personnel. • Formal instruction.

  11. PROVIDE TOOLS • Provide digital cameras and laptops. • Internet and photo logs, and email contact with students.

  12. POST PROJECT SUPPORT • Scientists keep the teacher(s) informed of their research. • Send teacher to scientific and/or NSTA conferences. • Subscribe the teacher to journals and membership in organizations. • Mini-grants for classroom projects.

  13. IT’S NOT JUST THE LESSONS • More is brought back to the classroom than just lessons. • Informal “teachable moments” may make students say WOW more than formal lessons.
