Hi Paul
We would be very interested in being involved in this session. We have a couple of shows which we deliver on outreach which focus on the science of light and although the scienfic concepts and content are quite similar in both shows they are delivered using different styles. We do alot of outreach work with 4 -5 year olds and use a story based format which works well.
If any of this is of interest for your session do not hesitate to get in touch.
Kind regards
Lorraine

Dear Educators,
I am looking for a few fellow presenters for an ASTC session. You can
find a brief description below:
In order to have a successful outreach program, shows need to be offered
on a variety of topics to a variety of grades. Frequently you perform
the same basic show for a variety of grades within the same school.
Teachers are often concerned that the material is adapted to the
specific grades. But thus is easier said then done. How can the same
basic concepts and demonstrations be adapted for kindergarten versus an
eighth grade class? How does the vocabulary and presentation of the
concepts vary as we ascend into secondary grades?
In this practical session, we will begin with a single science topic and
convey the best developmental mode and level to present this information
to a kindergarten audience. The session will progress in a cognitive
format as we continue to demonstrate and discuss developmental
appropriateness for each phase through the secondary grades.
Are there any developmental experts out there who could lend a hand?
Please contact me as soon as possible. Thanks.
-Paul
