La main a la pate  Some Outreach Activities
    (Note: I am not involved with the programs whose logos are to the left, but I get ideas when reviewing these pages.)
      Now, with the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) for Mathematics and Science (M/S),
        my elementary school visits (focus on 2 - 5) involve hands-on activities and other demonstrations related to:
        Free Fall, Gravity, Solids, Liquids, and Gases. We talk about scientific methods, forming and testing a theory,
        finding a Law of Nature, the usefulness of models to understand matter, and just fun & cool stuff.
