Kudos to my ed-tech sister for sending this link along! Premier Gordon Campbell has declared (amongst other things) that 2010-2011 is the Year of Science in BC schools. Frankly, it’s up the teachers to make that decision, but as a secondary science teacher, why not embrace the enthusiasm!
The Year of Science website has lots of articles, ideas, and links to promote more science education and enthusiasm for teachers, parents, and children. At first glance, it appears to be geared more towards the elementary audience, but I think there are worthwhile opportunities for the secondary teachers and students as well.
For example, it gives real-world examples of careers in science, highlights current lectures and workshops, and provides links for resources and professional development applicable to the BC curriculum.
