How
would you like to have Professor Gizmo perform an all-school science
presentation and then visit with smaller groups of students in your building with additional
demos and hands-on science activities? Well, it can happen!
Professor Gizmo now offers a Scientist in Residence Program.
The
program can take two forms - a one-day Scientist in Residence or a
multiple day
(2-5) Scientist in Residence program.
The
one-day program would include an all-school assembly and then Professor
Gizmo would meet with three smaller groups throughout the day. In many of the
additional programs the professor would give the
teachers a follow-up activity to be completed with their students in their
classrooms at a later time.
In the multiple
day program, Professor Gizmo also begins with a one-hour all-school
assembly. Then, Professor Gizmo is ready for the first round of small-group
sessions. During this time, he will meet with smaller groups of students
would conduct science activities appropriate for their ages. The sessions will
involve demonstrations and maybe some hands-on activities. Sessions typically run 60 minutes depending on age level, with a maximum of
four sessions per day. (First day would have 3 small sessions because of the all-school assembly) The
small group (classroom) sessions will require a 20-30 minute break to prepare
for the next session.
The
small groups do not have to meet in any specific order. Professor Gizmo can help
you configure a schedule for your school. A list of topics offered will be
discussed before hand. Most schools
have Professor Gizmo meet once with each group on one general topic.
Your administration and staff can set up a schedule to best meet your
school's goals. Schools can also opt for an additional optional evening
presentation that could involve the entire school community (parents, students
and faculty) for an evening of Amazing Science Fun!
