According to a recent LA Times article, the results of a statewide survey show that time and resources to teach science to students has been cut drastically.
Learning about science can lead to great careers, but perhaps more importantly learning about science helps youth learn about the world around them. Plus learning about science can be just plain fun.
If you are an educator or parent looking to add more science to the minds of our youth, UC Cooperative Extension has a wide range of resources designed to help.
We currently have:
- Books on teaching science available to check out from our library.
- Learning activities booklets for youth age 10-15 produced by the California Aquatic Science Education Consortium. They are available for free while they last.
- These previous blog posts (link to science resources for youth posts) will take you to electronic science resources and links to free materials
Some of these resources are available in Spanish.
Please contact our office for additional information, or to make an appointment to view library resources.
