| WORK PLAN:
Science of the Sound is an educational program
designed to serve all ages. The Discovery Room serves approximately
300 elementary students in Cordova who attend monthly hands-on science
lessons that complement the school's science curriculum, while also
helping to meet the Alaska state content standards for science.
Outreach Discovery involves the transportation and implementation
of these lessons in native villages of Tatitlek and Chenega Bay
(approx. 40 students total). PWSSC educators have started partnering
with the Cordova High School teachers, by leading field trips, giving
presentations, and helping organize and coach student participation
in science festivals. Science Center educators also present weekly
community programs which usually include a presentation coupled
with a field trip opportunity. From the Forest to the Sea Summer
Environmental Science Camp rounds out the education programs with
overnight and day camp activities offered to all age group participants
during June and August.
