Continuing the enthusiasm and energy from the Flinn Scientific
Foundation Summer Workshop for High School Chemistry Teachers at the
College of Wooster (July 11-15, 2005), WE want to invite you to
become part of a collaborative group of high school chemistry and
physics teachers. Who are WE-Scott Houmard and Jim Wherley, High
School Chemistry Teachers New Philadelphia High School and Judy
Amburgey-Peters, Associate Professor of Chemistry College of Wooster
and site coordinator for the three Flinn workshops that have been
held at Wooster. The three of us are excited about the synergistic
creativity that a collaborative group of committed Teachers can
produce that will enhance science education for our students.
Below we provide an outline of the schedule for the first meeting as
well as a brief survey. Your feedback is essential to focus the
activities to meet the NEEDS of the group members. Help us figure out
what you want and need to keep teaching chemistry and physics FUN!
