Select Activities in the Regional Collaborative for Excellence in Science Teaching

The Regional Collaborative for Excellence in Science Teaching employs many avenues of approach to engage teachers and students in science. A group of ``milestone'' discoveries is used to show science teachers how science is driven by new and exciting principles, which look mysterious initially, but lead to good understanding when the underlying principle for the discovery is found. An exciting program for prospective college bound students was initiated in the fall of 2009 supported by a grant from the President's office at UNT. The results of some of these activities will be presented.
