Online Samplers of Classroom Materials

Teachers have developed classroom materials as part of a number of Fermilab education programs. The materials enable students to discover relationships for themselves through activity-based investigation. The primary purpose of these materials is to provide an experience of science to broaden and enrich attitudes and develop an appreciation for and understanding of physics, prairie ecology and the world of national laboratories.

We have prepared thess samplers to give educators a preview of the materials. Materials and accompanying videotapes and posters are available at nominal costs.

For ordering information, check out the materials list.
