ADOPTION OF AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
We visited all seven fourth-grade classes at Genoa Elementary School over a six week period in Fall 2008 & Fall 2009 to do one detailed experiment with each class.
We returned in November to judge their Science Fair. The teacher and class put together the tri-board for presentation.

COLLEGE STUDENTS COMMENTS ABOUT THE CHILDREN“Young students really look up to us college
students.”
“I saw a few students get very excited when they grasped the concept. I have a sense of gratification.”
“This special night could also encourage them to pursue a higher education.”

COLLEGE STUDENT COMMENTS
“I’ve never been so involved in a class before. It inspires me to be a better student and take advantage of opportunities.”
“These activities provide a hands-on learning approach which reinforces material that has been taught in class.”

CHILDREN’S COMMENTS
“Your college deserves 400 billion rounds of applause, but I’ll be dead probably before I get to 1 million claps.”
“Now my sister and I are starting a small science lab in my bedroom .”
“It was a wonderful opportunity for 4th graders to learn more about science. At this age you get inspired in things that you might want to be when you grow up.”

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS’ COMMENTS“Your experiments were simple, but thought
provoking –a wonderful experience.”
“I was especially pleased to hear how your students were able to relate to our learning disabled and limited English students.”
“With the college students bringing in real scientific equipment and lowering the student to teacher ratio, students are able to really be involved in the process.”
