I don't know that I can offer anything truly unique but I am coordinating 
an-after school science outreach program in the schools for grades K-2 and 
3-5 and of course we have to adapt the activities for the grade level. I 
think I can learn alot from Paul and Lorraine!

> I am looking for a few fellow presenters for an ASTC session.  You can

>
> 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.
