Math and Science School is a program designed to enrich and encourage elementary students and teachers of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in the areas of mathematics and science activities. By providing access to special hands-on workshop sessions held in the mobile science laboratory at the school sites during the school year for students and teachers and with a separate summer inservice program for students, elementary children and teachers are encouraged to explore the fascination of science and the utility of mathematics through use of integrated curricula. The Department of Energy grant underwrites the instructional costs of this system while the grantee provides the mobile laboratory and the majority of the materials.
