Why does ScienceCorps send graduate students into high school classrooms?
Sending USM graduate students into rural classrooms to enrich opportunities for laboratory-based learning answers an important need in the high schools and also provides the graduate students with experiences outside of the research laboratory in roles that we hope will encourage their career-long involvement as citizens in activities that foster scientific literacy. Q. What topics will ScienceCorps fellows introduce? ScienceWorks lab activities include a DNA fingerprinting lab and a lab using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for diagnosis of Lyme disease. These and several other ScienceWorks labs directly address Maine Learning Results science education performance standards for grades 9-12. Labs under development by ScienceCorps fellows for use this year include a virology lab using a bacterial virus and a lab investigating enzyme kinetics. The laboratory activities are generally presented in the context of a relevant news story or medical case history report. By putting
