Elementary Education Committee

The Elementary Education Committee will be meeting in June for a planning session. The date and location will be selected based on the geographical convenience of all members of this committee.  We are currently looking for additional members to join this group.  We are looking to develop a chemistry summer camp for kids in grades 2 thru 5. This camp would be modeled after other existing academic camps, but would be chemistry related. This committee would be involved in curriculum selection, program development, site location and training elementary teachers who would implement this program. The proposed date for this camp is summer of 2006.

Other programs the committee would investigate would be to develop a program for chemistry clubs in elementary schools for grade 5.  If you are interested in joining this fun and exciting committee please contact the Section office at (847) 647-8405; chicagoacs@ameritech.net or contact Fran Kravitz at (630) 293-4122; fk1456@sbcglobal.net. If you choose to send an email note, make sure you put the title "elementary education committee" in the subject line of your note.
