We can't see gases, but we know they exist. This program will explore their
speed density and other interesting properties.
This program would not be complete without your participation. Students and teachers will be invited to come on stage and asstst in selected experiments. Maybe you will be the lucky one to help us with that part of the program. There is much more to see, hear and learn; and like all good action movies, this one ends with a bang. Don't miss this engaging program, you won't only learn about science, you'll learn that no matter who you are there is a scientist within you.

This is a very new and advanced program that is designed to explore the

All really does mean all. This is an extension of the parent program developed

for minorities and females. It focuses on varied assessment strategies and
teaching techniques that result in learning in an open and relaxed atmosphere
where everyone has the ability to contribute and participate.
These two programs where developed at the University of Oregon. They are
primarily for family nights at schools or churches and organizations where
family interaction is possible. Often times math and science are not understood
by parents, therefore making its encouragement in the home less likely. The
primary goal of these programs is to introduce science and math in a fun
and interactive way that dismantles the stereotype that these subjects can
be understood by only a select few. Math and science are a part of everyday
life and should be embraced not avoided.
At one point in time, the United States had , by far, more patents and patent applications than any other country in the industrialized world. This program is designed to initiate the processes involved in thinking like an inventor, and involves manipulatives for each child.
