Science Connections Science Connections links scientists from Arizona State University with K-12 students and teachers in the Phoenix metropolitan area to help students explore science and the environment. Students can explore biology, ecology, chemistry, geology, geogra phy, climatology, archaeology, anthropology, space science, and many more topics, with a real scientist as their guide. Presentations are tailored to each class's specific needs in terms of content, emphasis, and level of complexity.
Presenters can bring slides or specimens, and lead hands-on activities.
Please call at least three weeks before you would like the visit. If you would like a presentation from a biologist about animals or human biology, you can request one directly from the ASU Department of Biology by filling out the on-line form at Borrow a Biologist . The pilot phase of the program will run during the '98-'99 academic year. LTER scientists will work with K-12 teachers and stude nts to research ecological conditions of the Phoenix metropolitan area, collecting data, developing and testing hypotheses, and sharing their discoveries.
