Hi everyone, Nancy here.
We here in the SERC are always looking for ways to save educators and families money on resources so we have a hot tip for you:
Our friends at Year of Science and Cal Berkley have put together this great resource for science educators that we wanted to pass on to you.
Here is a link to an electronic version of the "Understanding Science" poster that they developed. You can print this out in color to give to your students or have a local copy shop enlarge the file poster-size and laminate to post in your classroom.
Speaking of posters, did you know the SERC has a closet full of posters that you can use in your classroom? Many of you know we have books, artifacts and equipment you can sign out like a library book to help support your science explorations, but we also have posters about mammals, reptiles, astronomy, ecology and several other topics that you can sign out as well. It is a favorite resource of many of our Duke University Student U and their Elementary Pre-service program students to use during their field experience in Durham Public Schools.
One of our members organized a "Bug Week" in her neighborhood for all the neighborhood kids for Summer enrichment and our collection of bee posters were a huge hit!
Drop us a line and let us know how we can provide materials support or if you know of a cool resource to share, pass it along!
Stay tuned and stay curious,
-Nancy

residents of Missouri have access to tons of free materials from the Department of Conservation - informal science workbooks, curriculum booklets for pre-K-12, a monthly magazine, trading cards, posters of every ilk, and much, much more.
Missouri residents get them for free, thanks to out .08% sales tax provision but I think non-Missourians can get these same resources for a nominal fee.
