Science in motion
- Juniata College, Huntingdon, PA (United States)
With the help of grants from the National Science Foundation, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and other sponsors, we have instituted a program that provides total support for the high school science teacher. Using specially designed vans, certified science teachers deliver modern scientific instrumentation to schools and support the teacher in introducing the students to the use of this equipment. Summer programs and science fairs are available where teachers have the opportunity to use the equipment and develop experiments for their classrooms. The activities of this program offer students and faculty the opportunity to demonstrate the attainment of national standards. This program has been featured on ABC news as a successful program in exciting students about science using a hands-on approach.
