Introduction for Teachers

Having a scientist come to your classroom can be a fun and exciting way to incorporate engaging presentations, projects and demonstrations, many of which require hands-on investigations. The goal of Partners In Science is to enrich students’ understanding and experience of science. We think you will find this program beneficial for your students as it works to facilitate students’ learning of science through direct interaction with those who “do” science on a regular basis.

Use links in this section fo the website to explore the backgrounds and interests of the  participating scientists. There are extended profiles available for many of the participants. Feel free to contact  any of of the prticipants directly.
Finally, we have provided a series of “Tips for Success” that are based on our experiences i partnering scientists with local classrooms. It is a good idea to read through these suggestions before your first visit.
