Teaching in rural areas — 'Labs in a box' to aid local math, science educators
The "grand experiment" of using these "labs in a box" is a pilot program of the Rural Communities (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) STEM Initiative. RCSI is an Oak Ridge business/education partnership that is working with nine rural school districts to improve science and math skills of students in kindergarten through 12th grade. The pilot program, set to be tested in middle school classrooms this school year, will provide 27 math and science teachers in Anderson, Campbell, Loudon, Morgan, Roane, and Scott County school systems, as well as the Lenoir City, Oneida and Clinton city school systems, with materials that support the new statewide curriculum for math and science education.Science Lab Curriculums For Middle School - News
