Projects

Considering that the earlier students are introduced to a particular subject the more likely they will develop a greater knowledge and understanding of the subject, Elementary School Students represent a uniquely important underrepresented audience to which the physical sciences could be more effectively introduced. The Molecules of Life Project (MLP) teams up college students from the Arts and Sciences to deliver an elementary school curriculum based around specific molecules of life with the intent of encouraging students to think and express their ideas by way of experiments and art projects. Introducing molecules in an enjoyable way, the MLP strives to stimulate a basic interest and love of art and science that may be cultivated with age. Selections from the realized projects are used to produce a fund raising item to support and improve school resources (i.e. library and computer facilities) for teaching in the arts and sciences.

Projets

Chacun des projets introduits aux élèves d’écoles élémentaires par des étudiants universitaires s’articule autour d’une molécule en particulier. Une sélection basée sur les molécules influençant notre vie quotidienne  est présentement à l’étude. Les cours donnés sont agrémentés d’expériences, de projets artistiques et de discussions encourageant les écoliers à penser et exprimer leurs idées sur les molécules d’une manière interactive et divertissante.
