Subject: Volunteer for SciTrek 2nd - 5th grade science outreach
</b><br>
<br>
<b>SciTrek:</b> How Science Works is a science outreach program at
UCSB seeking undergraduate and graduate students to volunteer in
2nd, 3rd, and 5th grade classrooms around Santa Barbara.<b> If you
are interested in volunteering come to our sign-up
session/fundraiser on Wednesday, January 9th from 5:00-8:00pm at
Silvergreens in Isla Vista. If you buy dinner at Silvergreens
and tell them that you are with SciTrek we will get a portion of
the proceeds.</b><b> Darby and Bre will be there to answer all
of your questions. If you cannot make it to the fundraiser and
still want to sign-up e-mail <a href="mailto:scitrekadmin@chem.ucsb.edu" target="_blank">scitrekadmin@chem.ucsb.edu</a>.<br>
</b><b><br>
</b><b>What is SciTrek? </b><br>
SciTrek’s main focus is to allow 2nd -5th grade students to
experience the scientific process first hand by designing and
carrying out their own experiments. In addition, SciTrek strives
to give teachers and UCSB students’ an appreciation of the
benefits of facilitating student-centered inquiry activities in
the classroom. <br>
<br>
<b>What SciTrek is seeking? </b><br>
We are looking for UCSB undergraduate and graduate students who
are interested in guiding students through the experimental
process. Each module is centered on one topic and consists of 5-8
sessions lasting no more than an hour each, and occurs over the
course of two to three weeks (rides will be provided to and from
UCSB for each module). Our 2nd – 5th grade students bond with the
SciTrek volunteers, therefore, we are looking for students who can
be present for the majority of the module session dates within one
classroom, see a list of our events here (additional modules will
be posted in upcoming weeks). Before going to the schools you must
attend a short module specific orientation (1-2 hours) to prepare
you for the upcoming module. In addition, a senior SciTrek member
will be present and helping in each classroom. <br>
<b><br>
</b><b>Why volunteer? </b><br>
This is an awesome opportunity for college students to conduct
inquiry within a 2nd – 5th grade classrooms, not to mention
getting involved in a new program that truly gets students to
design their own experiments. We want you to inspire 2nd -5th
grade students’ to have a deeper understanding of the scientific
process while enabling them to develop their critical thinking
skills. <br>
<i><b><br>

like to get involved please come to the sign-up session/fundraiser
