From: Nancy McCormick-Pickett With the start of a new school year, here are some ways you can make chemistry come alive for teachers and students in preK-12, and then relax with â??Mystery of Matter.â?? But shareâ??always share! Share www.acs.org/kids with teachers, parents and kids. This collection of games, videos, and other fun interactive content is aimed at preK-5 students to help them explore science, with household materials. Post on your social media networks or simply email or tell teachers/parents you know. This new 3-hour PBS series was previewed at the Boston ACS meeting but begins airing around the country now. Check your local listings or watch it at www.pbs.org . Post your reactions on social media and encourage others to watch it too. The cast includes several ACS members. Like us on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ChemistryAmbassadors PS: Weâ??re always looking for stories from the field about your outreach and feedback about the program. Share your story with usâ??weâ??d love to hear from you!
Be a Science Coach and Help a Teacher Near You
ACS is looking to send 250 chemists back to the classroomâ??as ACS Science Coaches. Will you consider being one of them? You can choose the teacher/grade you want to work with, the school will get $500 to enhance science education, and you get the satisfaction of making a difference. Coaches help teachers by answering tough chemistry questions, advising students on careers in chemistry, assisting during science labs, or giving chemical safety tips. The requirements: Commit to six, 1-hour teacher visits over the course of a year; be a current or retired professional chemist, graduate student, or postdoctoral scholar; and have a passion for inspiring future generations of chemists. Enrollment for 2015-16 school year is now open. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until October 30, 2015.
