  1. LIVE INTERACTIVE LEARNING @ YOUR DESKTOP Sally Ride Science/NSTA Web Seminar: From Astrobiology to Zoology: Igniting Students’ Interests in Science Careers Dr. Karen Flammer, Sally Ride Science Thursday, November 1, 2007

  2. Encouraging interest in science has never been more important In the 4th grade, two thirds of boys and girls like science. Too many students do not know what scientists do or who they are. Many students do not see the relevance of science, or connect it to the real world.

  3. Encouraging interest in science has never been more important Science plays a greater role in our lives than ever before. Students who have a solid background in science are prepared for a wide variety of opportunities. Science improves and grows only through the contributions of diverse perspectives.
