Activities will ensure that teachers are better prepared to deliver hands-on, integrated instruction in mathematics and science. Workshops at UAB included many hands-on activities some of which interfaced computers with different phases of the experiments. Activities at Miles College included several training sessions on the computers. Teachers were shown how to access the Internet and gather materials and other resources for use in their classes. The focus of the UAB workshops is getting ready for a Science Fair.
Information includes topics and procedures for science fairs.
The focus of the Miles College workshops is computer informatics. Teachers are given hands-on experience on the computer, are introduced to new software, and are gaining experience using the internet. Teachers are very excited about the information they are receiving at these workshops. Below is a summary of student activities which were implemented last year and are being refined for this year, the second complete year of grant implementation. Mathematics-Science Clubs are fully operational in 70 schools.
