The Toad Tracking project is the type science that I am interested in getting students involved in. My experience is that students become engaged and learn so much more when they see the science is important. This type of science also gives students the opportunity to apply their reading, mathematics and writing skills. My questions are as follows: Are there grants that will help fund this type of project; How do I find scientist who are willing to work with schools on such projects; What type of professional development is needed for teachers.
I am a retired P.D. specialist (science) from the Omaha Public Schools in Nebraska. I now will begin teaching technology and work with a science club beginning this fall. I understand that the science experiences students have in K-12 education does not show them how exciting research can be. I wish to give the students a St. Richard Catholic School the opportunity to grow in all academic areas through scientific inquiry.
