Outreach Programs In The Department Of Physics It exposes teachers to classroom activities that combine demonstrations, gradelevelhands-on science activites for Physics on the Road demos view photogallery http://www.physics.purdue.edu/outreach/outreach2.html
Extractions: Purdue's Department of Physics has developed a highly successful outreach program, PEARLS, that brings the excitement of physical science to many students who would not otherwise be exposed to physics. It also encourages teachers and parents to motivate students to pursue careers in science, engineering, and technology. Purdue brings PEARLS of Science wisdom to your school. The need for the PEARLS Outreach program is clearly demonstrated by its enthusiastic reception and favorable impact on precollege science education in the Midwest. Purdue's PEARLS program can serve as a model, which can be adopted by other Universities, to advance science education throughout the United States. Some of the outreach activities are outlined below.

ECSEL: Projects: Design In K-14: Activity/Demos students to pursue learning in science and engineering a collaborative effort witha physics teacher from The lectures and laboratory activities were developed http://depts.washington.edu/mscience/projects/k14-demo.htm
Extractions: Design in K-14: Activity/Demos Design Modules for Teaching in K-12 Web based Materials Science Demonstration Introductory High School Ferroelectrics and Piezoelectrics Modules Design Modules for Teaching in K-12 Contact: Brian Flinn bflinn@u.washington.edu Remie Calalang Description : Working with Project Compute, we have developed a design booklet for use in K-12 schools. Project Compute is housed in the Rainier Community Center, which serves primarily African American families. Together we will offer periodic workshops for parents and families as a way to increase their own knowledge of design and engineering. We feel it is important that families know what students are doing so they can help with their take-home projects and offer support. One aspect of this effort is a collaborative effort to develop a booklet of K-12 activities, training materials, and a web site. At the coalition level, this work will contribute to a large effort to catalogue all of ECSEL¹s K-14 projects. This catalogue will include text, digital, and internet resources. In addition we will design, organize and host workshops at national conferences such as the National Council of Teacher Association, National Science Teacher Association, American Society of Engineering Education, WEPAN and student organizations (NSBE, AISES, WISE).

Extractions: The Athena Project is collaborative and international effort to land a series of rovers on Mars in 2003. The Mars Exploration Rovers Web site chronicles these efforts, as well as offering various facts and learning activities like those found on the Home Demos page. The seven demos teach kids various things about Mars such as how scientists know there used to be water on Mars; how Mars seems to orbit back and forth; how difficult it is to land on Mars; what the soil on Mars is comprised of; how to create a volcano similar to Mars Olympus Mons, which is the largest known volcano in the universe; how wind effects soil on Mars; and if there may be life on Mars. Each activity includes an explanation of what is needed and how to complete the experiment, as well as how it relates to the Athena Project. [JAB]
