Site of the Week
Project LABS (Learning About Basic Science) is a cooperative program for science teachers sponsored by the Rohm and Haas Company. The program features lesson plans and experiment instructions for a broad range of sciences. Many of these lessons are adaptable to any grade level, and are designed to:
- Foster collaboration between teachers and scientists to promote science education.
- Develop hands-on science activities to supplement school curricula.
- Demonstrate the practical side of science.
- Show that science is fun!
Teachers and parents will be amazed at the quantity - and quality - of these practical scientific experiments.
The developers of this site have "tried to keep it light, and to put the emphasis on fun." We think they succeeded!
