Education majors in Dr. Schisler's Science in the Elementary School course celebrate their first day of training for 1st grade Discover Nature Schools! Discover Missouri curriculum from the Missouri Department of Conservation focuses on native Missouri phenomenon to articulate science standards, so our teacher candidates made Eastern Bluebird (Missouri state bird) headbands to get into the spirit of the training! Candidates in the course will become fully certified in the Discover Nature Schools curriculum within the science methods course and will be able to take these immersive lessons to their own classrooms!

Judges Needed!

The South Middle School 7th and 8th grade Science Fair is Tuesday, February 24 from 4:00-5:30 p.m.!

These middle schoolers have been working on their projects throughout the year and now it is our chance to help evaluate their hard work! Judges circulate the cafeteria and talk with students about their projects; then use a Google Form to assess the experiment based on a rubric. No specific scientific knowledge is required and this can be a great opportunity to earn some volunteer hours while helping one of our local schools! Each presentation only takes 3-4 minutes to judge and they would love to have enough judges that each project can be evaluated by multiple judges.
