We are happy to announce our plans for the South Florida Museum's "Museum Science Education & Enrichment" (MSEE) Program for 2007-2008. As you may be aware,
the MSEE Program is based on a three-year content cycle. The coming year will focus on Physical Science, with a strong emphasis on physics (matter, energy, simple
machines) and a minor focus on chemistry (mixtures and solutions).
Classes will combine discussion of the theory of physics (and, where appropriate, its relation to chemistry) with hands-on learning experiences. Our primary goal will be to develop a working understanding of how scientists think about, measure, and describe matter and energy. Our work will, by necessity, require basic mathematics. However, the course is designed to present physics to the non-mathematician. We are changing the way we offer MSEE in 2007-2008. Only two levels of classes will be offered – the Junior level will be appropriate for grades 3 – 6, the Senior level will be appropriate for grades 7 – 12. In addition, a one-hour Senior Discussion Group will be offered once each month for Senior students in grades 10 – 12. Classes will be held on the first* and third Wednesday of each month beginning on October 3, 2007 and ending May 7, 2008, for a total of thirteen class sessions. (*There will be no classes on January 2, 2008 and April 2, 2008). Junior level will meet from 1 pm to 2 pm. Senior level will meet from 2:30 to 3:30. All classes run for one hour. The Senior Discussion Group will meet for one hour immediately following class on the third Wednesday of each month. Pre-Registration for students who have participated in past MSEE classes will open Tuesday, August 14 and close on Friday, August 17. Pre-Registration must be done in person at the Museum between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m, and will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Full payment for the course is required at the time of registration. If classes are not filled, Open Registration will open on Thursday, September 6 at 10:00 a.m. Registration must be done in person at the Museum, and will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Full payment for the course is required at the time of registration. The number of openings for each level will be posted here no later than August 24. |
