Wonders of Our World: A Collaborative Science Education Program Between Active Scientists and Elementary School Teachers
Goals
Wonders of Our World (W.O.W.) is intended to 1) supplement the existing science programs in elementary schools, 2) bring the excitement of science discoveries into the classroom, 3) increase the science materials that elementary school teachers are comfortable presenting to their students, 4) increase the involvement of local scientists, parents and undergraduate science students in important community projects, 5) generate a pathway that gives school teachers easy access to scientists at Ohio State and other local science enclaves, and 6) establish a model for other scientists to assist science programs in other elementary schools.
