Sensing for Science Kit

(BOZEMAN) — Montana educators of children in grades K-2 are invited to apply for a free Sensing for Science kit from Montana State University. The kit includes seven ready-to-go lessons with the necessary materials and is appropriate for a school or out-of-school setting.

The content introduces early elementary students to the concepts, functions and uses of sensors — tools scientists use to monitor the environment and solve problems. The kit activities begin with exploring the body’s natural sensors — taste, smell, sight, touch and hearing — and then connect these ideas to interacting with various kid-friendly sensor technologies. No prior experience with or understanding of sensors is required by the instructor.

Interested educators are invited learn more and apply at www.mtnsfepscor.org/educator-resources. The application deadline is Monday, Dec. 8.
