Science education is a national priority. Thousands of scientists are interested in volunteering. A Survival Guide for Scientists and Engineers, a companion to this publication, is in the hands of tens of thousands of scientists. Many national organizations have committed to improving science learning. NSF encourages teachers, scientists, and others to participate through school activities, community projects, and public lectures.
Science centers provide rich experiences in science.
They are a resource for science activities and ideas for teaching science. Contact your local science center to learn what is available in your community. Developed by the North Carolina Museum of Life and Science. Thomas H.
