Sharing Science With Children:
A Survival Guide for Scientists and Engineers
This is the first of three Sharing Science with Children Guides
produced
by the
North Carolina Museum of Life and Science . This Guide is written
for scientists and engineers interested in making effective classroom
presentations. Each Guide contains 8 pages, with text and photographs
nicely formatted in a color, fold-out brochure format. We offer on-line
access to the Guides in several ways:
- You may view the text only portions
of the Guide pages, where the
text from each page was retyped and formatted into an HTML document. This
option gives you the entire text in a single, quick download, but no images.
- Each page of the Guide is available for browsing
on-line as a GIF format image. The pages were scanned directly from the
printed document and may require that you resize or pan around your
browser window to read all the text. Each page is an image, consisting of
text and pictures, with sizes in Kilobytes noted below. These are large files
which can take a long time to download, but they should appear on your screen
formatted exactly as the original document.
- Page 1 The Task ... [125Kb]
- Page 2 Get Ready! [136Kb]
- Page 3 Get Set! [169Kb]
- Page 4 Go! [123Kb]
- Page 5 Teaching Tips [127Kb]
- Page 6 Typical Science and
Technology Topics [132Kb]
- Page 7 Message from the NSF [114Kb]
- Page 8 Commit to the
Challenge [67Kb]
containing the text and pictures from
all 8 pages in PostScript format. Transfer the file back to your machine, and
then spool it to a PostScript printer to obtain 8 greyscale pages formatted
like the originals. This file in not intended for viewing, even if you have a
PostScript viewer like Ghostview or Pageview available, because of its size.
- You may get on-line ordering information
for obtaining color copies of all the Guides from the NCMLS.
- Or write to the museum directly for ordering and additional information.
