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
