Journal Article ·
OSTI ID:758742

As a DOE nuclear physics basic research laboratory, the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) provides a rich environment for precollege science education. Several innovative partnerships with schools, businesses, and academia demonstrate model approaches for enhancing teachers and motivating students. Becoming Enthusiastic About Math and Science (BEAMS) immerses classes of 5th/6th graders for a full week at CEBAF. Their FCCSET Summer Institute equips teachers to ''do science'' in their middle and high schools classes.
