LSU ScienceDEMO is a unique project that enhances learning for LSU students in large introductory chemistry and geology courses. ScienceDEMO focuses on four major areas of learning:
How it Works:
- deeper understanding of scientific principles
- improved communication skills
- awareness of learning styles
- appreciation for community service
How it Works:
- Students select K-12 partners and coordinate with them to find the best day/time to do the science demonstration.
- Students use one of the ScienceDEMO lesson plans that is relevant to their undergraduate science course in which they are enrolled and related to the K-12 class they select.
- Students then practice their K-12 lesson presentation.
- Students then deliver their demonstration presentation to their K-12 class.
- Lastly, students complete a reflective essay documenting their experience.
