Jane Cobb videos (Early Literacy Songs) Bill Nye the Science Guy on Youtube Mr. Wizard on Youtube Learning Props Science Center of Iowa ($200 for a single program at their library, or $150 if two libraries within 25 miles of each other schedule their programs on the same day. No mileage.) Joshua Denhart: Chemistry Show (He does science/religious based shows mostly, but he said he can do the science portions without the religious aspects. He performed in Alden several years ago and really liked him. He also has these DVD tutorials to lead the science experiments, which are real science, that you don't have to include the VBS aspects with. He also does live shows, but they're kinda crazy expensive.) Iowa STEM Scale-Up , Link 2 (This is a grant you can apply for that timing-wise, won't help with summer, but you'll have the curriculum forever, depending on which program you try and get, so you can implement some of that for your summer program. Also, FREE PROGRAM! You should apply! I also found out that all the libraries in the North Central region will receive one free World in Motion Kit. In the North West, North Central, South Central, and South East regions, all libraries have access to Defined STEM and can sign up for WebX training. Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and 4H groups also have access.) FREE (Fabulous Resources for Energy Education) Grout Museum ISU Extension Steve 'n TV Band Director Science Teacher Local Naturalist |
