Students learning science can experience the excitement of discovery and invention.
Understanding science prepares them to participate in an increasingly complex and competitive scientific and technological world. Meeting the challenge of teaching our children in this rapidly changing world is not easy. Teachers have limited time and materials for teaching science and often find themselves teaching without access to the real world experiences that can make science come alive. One of the best allies any teacher can have is a person who knows and understands science. Across the nation thousands of them have demonstrated their willingness and ability to become involved in our schools.
