Teachers, Students, COPUS Participants - Celebrate Science!This month's Clarion is over-flowing with examples of initiatives and activities that will inspire you to bring science into your life. Additionally, with the Year of Science 2009! just three months away, there are plenty of ideas about how to celebrate -- be it by highlighting science in your community, going on a nature hike, or by participating in an event organized by a COPUS participant.2. Engage in Real Science in 2009!Check-out these five programs designed to engage students, of all ages, in science. From adopting a local species, to science challenges, to science cafes, to participating in a National Science Experiment, scientific societies have developed fun and interesting ways to bring science to students and to the public -- and have fun while doing it! * 4-H National Youth Science Day <http://www.4-h.org/4-HNYSD.html>http://www.4-h.org/4-HNYSD.html * Science Cafes in Schools <http://www.juniorcafesci.org.uk/>http://www.juniorcafesci.org.uk/* Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) <http://www.eol.org>http://www.eol.org * CoCoRaHS <http://www.cocorahs.org/>http://www.cocorahs.org/* Pulse of the Planet's Kids' Science Challenge <http://www.kidsciencechallenge.com/>http://www.kidsciencechallenge.com/############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
