ED11B:
Demonstrations, Hands-on Activities, and Simple Measurements for Education Posters

Submit an Abstract to this Session Please know the abstract submission deadline has passed. There are no exceptions to this deadline and no new abstracts can be submitted.
You can still search the program to see your colleague�s abstract submissions as well as the sessions submitted for the 2016 Fall Meeting. The final program will be released in early October.


Session ID#: 12506

Session Description:
Share your most effective, most fun, and most interesting science demonstrations, hands-on activities, and simple measurements that help learners of any age understand concepts related to any AGU field.  Be sure to include instructions (or a link to the instructions), as well as alignments to the Next Generation Science Standards, where appropriate. Sharing your accomplishments can contribute to the capabilities of others who can benefit from your experiences. All types of educators are welcome, from elementary to postgraduate, to those in informal science settings.   For poster presenters, don't forget to order a table or electricity if you need it (tables, power, etc. will be at an extra cost; ordering information available in late fall 2016).
