The Graduate fellows in K-12 Education (GK-12)

The program organized by the National Science Foundation and coordinated by Purdue University is designed to bring leading research in science into the K-12 classroom. The goals of the program are to inspire transformation in the K-12 formal and informal learning environments and stimulate interest in science among students and teachers. We develop and present to the students a series of lectures and inquiry-based lessons for 8^th grade science class in Tecumseh Junior High School, Lafayette, IN.
