The lessons developed through the program cover a variety of disciplines, including environmental science, natural habitats, plant biology, insect morphology, polymer chemistry, separation technology, coatings, agricultural chemistry and more. Teachers are required to prepare a write-up of the experiment. Write-ups will be published in a program book which is distributed to teachers around the Delaware Valley. The write-ups also will be available on the Project LABS web site . So that other teachers and school students can benefit from the work, we ask participating teachers to share their work through some other dissemination effort.
Teachers receive a stipend for their participation in the program.
The program is open to K-12 science teachers. Those interested in applying may do so electronically through our web site, but applicants must send their letter of recommendation in the mail. Just click on the link at the bottom of the page to apply online. All materials must be postmarked by April 17, 2000. Space in the program is limited, and we recommend a prompt response.
