Let’s celebrate science learning and you!

What science related things are you doing at your school or in your classroom?   So many teachers are asking for help with their science kits.   You can help get them started by sharing what you are doing with your students.    

The PESI News Team is looking for articles about exciting science kit adventures teachers are providing for their students.  Please take a minute to share your science adventures with your fellow teachers & science enthusiasts. 

Everyone would love to hear from you!
