Celebrating Science – A Family Science Project
“to develop a basic level of scientific literacy. Whether addressing a mundane or momentous issue, a solid foundation in the sciences is critical for every individual’s success and the advancement as a society.
Parents and caregivers can be instrumental in supporting children’s engagement with science. A companion resource to Celebrating Science: A guide for expanding inquiry-based science education into the community, this suite of materials is meant to support elementary-aged students in bridging three areas of science: science at school, at home, and at work. “

“Elizabeth “Bessie” Coleman was always being told what she could and couldn’t do. In an era when Jim Crow laws and segregation were a way of life, it was not easy to survive. Bessie didn’t let that stop her. Although she was only 11 when the Wright Brothers took their historic flight, she vowed to become the first African-American female pilot. Her sturdy faith and determination helped her overcome obstacles of poverty, racism, and gender discrimination.”
