From NASA Reviewed Collection
Comment on this resource
This building-wide science enrichment program consists of a series of posters and accompanying questions designed to pique student interest in science concepts and their application to the world in which we live. Accompanying each poster are question sheets of increasing difficulty levels that students answer and submit at a designated location (collection box, office, etc.). Random prize drawings can be used to recognize/celebrate student participation. The purpose is to expose students to and create school-wide interest about science so students want to "STOP for Science" as displays are changed throughout the year. Although the focus is on enhancing building-wide science interest, content can also be linked directly to science classroom activities through use of accompanying teacher resource guides that provide science background, fun facts, typical questions and misconceptions, and several demonstrations or experiments related to the poster concepts.
