ELEMENTARY SCIENCE INSTITUTE: A SAMPLER FROM TEACHER PROJECT PRESENTATIONS

 

               Adrian's project involved making butter.

   Brian shares one of his students' "Draw-a-Scientist" pictures.

 

 

Teacher participants in the HESIT program have two simple requirements:

1. create a science teaching resource collection based upon the free materials and supplies provided during the summer, and,

2. conduct a classroom project with students based upon SOL content studied during the program.

This page illustrates a few of the projects conducted by 2010-11 HESIT teachers.

                              Caroline did a project involving camouflage with her students.

 

Chip conducted the "Draw-a-Scientist" test and did a skit with his students to pique their curiosity and address their stereotypes.

Elizabeth demonstrates her project - a kit for exploring the outdoors and collecting organisms for study.

Brandy shares research tools for students.
 The 2011 Hollins Elementary Science Institute for Teachers was sponsored by the  Hollins University's Department of Biology, with the support of a grant from the State Council of Higher Education under the Improving Teacher Quality Program.
