Please Note: This workshop will be combined with the Workshop on Friday at 10 am in room Evelyn called "Don't Believe Everything You Believe". Science makes lives better. Across all of humanity, individual lives are longer, healthier, and fuller due to the advances of science. Science gets too little credit for its massive contributions to human wellbeing. Our lessons teach students appreciation for science. They include teacher notes, curriculum standards, student response sheets, rubrics, and lesson plans. It’s all free! Our ScienceSaves lessons highlight the history of scientific discovery, data analysis, graphing, and engineering. The workshop will introduce the idea behind ScienceSaves, briefly introduce our 23 lessons, and give the attendees time to dig deeper into the individual lessons. For example, our lesson on CRISPR features this brand new, exciting technology. In this lesson, students will research other life-saving medical inventions which we may now take for granted, such as organ transplants, artificial hearts, blood transfusions, antibiotics, and vaccines. Check out our free lessons and $15,000 scholarship opportunity for high school seniors at www.sciencesaves.org.
