Materials Science Classroom Kit
The Materials Science Classroom Kit features nine lessons for K-12 teachers to bring hands-on learning into their classrooms. The kit lessons comply with Next Generation Science Standards and introduce students to the basic classes of materials—ceramics, composites, metals, and polymers.
Each kit includes:
- Most materials needed for nine demonstrations and lab activities for multiple uses
- The Teacher's Manual: An illustrated guide with detailed instructions, learning objectives, demo delivery hints, discussion questions, and student handouts
- A thumb drive with electronic content to help get teachers started:
- an introductory PowerPoint presentation
- a digital version of the Teacher's Manual to easily edit and adapt the included worksheets
- instructional videos for each demonstration and lab activity
- Coming soon: Additional state Standards of Learning benchmarks
