The Science Teacher
Workshop program was developed years ago to provide educators with
scientifically correct, free, ready-to-use teaching materials on topics not
covered in most textbooks: radioactivity and
radiation bioeffects. The STW text includes
material collected from many public sources. In
addition, the NCHPS gratefully acknowledges the significant contribution
of Rebecca Townsend in compiling this material, as
well as for the overview of NC curricula requirements covered by this
text.
For the past several years, NCHPS has presented a STW at the annual NC Science Teachers Association meeting. Here's what attending teachers said:
