Thank you for your interest in our Sharing Science with Children Series!


The North Carolina Museum of Life and Science has developed three
guides designed to promote involvement in science education.

Sharing Science with Children: A Survival Guide for Scientists and
Engineers

A concise, how-to-manual for scientists and engineers interested in
sharing their expertise in science with schools. This guide describes
learning characteristics of young people, offers presentation tips,
and lists typical elementary science topics by grade level.

Sharing Science: Linking Students with Scientists and Engineers, A
Survival Guide for Teachers

Designed to help teachers tap scientists as resources, this guide
links typical elementary science topics with the work of a wide variety
of scientists. It also outlines steps to make the most out of a scientist’s
visit.

Sharing Science with Children: A Guide for Parents

Emphasizing everyday discoveries, this practical guide helps parents
do science with their children. It identifies science experiences,
skills and concepts families can explore in their home and community.



Choose between three ordering options:

1. Obtain Guides from the Museum:

Up to five copies of each guide are free upon request. Copies may
be purchased in multiples of 25 only. The cost is $25 for each multiple
of 25 up to 200 copies. Orders greater than 200 will receive a 20%
discount.  

2. Purchase Black and White Masters:

You can order a set of durable Black and White Masters of each guide,
from which an unlimited number of photocopies can be made. The cost
for each set of Black and White Masters is $100.00. See the order_form
for additional information.

3. Purchase Mechanicals:

The Museum can provide mechanicals of the guides, from which an unlimited
number of copies can be printed. The fee for one set of mechanicals
is $500.00 and $25.00/hour for customizing, if desired. Allow approximately
four to six weeks for production. Once mechanicals are purchased,
a local printer will be able to produce copies for you. Printing costs
vary, so we recommend getting several estimates.

Please note: Noncommercial duplication of the guides is encouraged.
Permission may be requested to reprint excerpts. Credit must be given
in all cases. Thanks to the generosity of professional scientific
societies, a limited number of guides can be furnished to nonprofit
institutions for reduced fees. If you are requesting reduced fees,
please send a written request.
