Programs Available (we are revising this program, please call)
Materials are available for students to work in partners or individually depending on the subject and grade level.  Please do not double classes.  In most classes students create and keep a hands-on activity. 

Each one hour program uses electronic storybooks or slideshows, 1-2 hands on activities and a fun presentation to supplement classroom learning.

Please Note: These lessons are not the same as Field Trips to the Math Science Nucleus.

Math

Please check back as we develop lessons to correspond with getting 6th –8th graders ready for algebra.  The presentations are being developed by a grant from Dana Raimondi.  We are now piloting the sequence in underachieving schools in the Fremont Unified School District. Look at the following link for some of the lessons:
