Howe About Science: Exploring the Human Body
“Howe About Science” is an interactive program that
provides students with a fun, motivational opportunity
to learn science. A “learn-by-doing” approach integrates
facts with scientific processes, enhances higher order
thinking skills and competence in solving problems. This
class will focus on three themes: Mission to Mars,
Investigations in the Rain Forest, and Exploring the
Human Body. Although the themes sound very specific,
they allow virtually all of the national science
standards to be addressed and provide for exploration
and comparison with local issues. Within each theme,
connections can be made that work across various science
content areas. Exploring the Human Body module consists
of 14, 30-minute lessons. |

Let’s Save America! Lessons to Financial Success
This series focuses on a plan that allows school
children to learn the value of saving and realize the
benefits of compound interest. If you want to have a
meaningful impact on children, then start teaching them
about compound interest at a very early age. Simply put,
the rule is: a sum of money (principal) wisely invested
at a good, steady (rate) return, left untouched over a
long period (time). The power of this formula will be
explained to students in six simple lessons. |
