          Science Investigations Mentorship Program
          [Science and Children v30 n6 p20-22 Mar 1993]
          Abstract:  Science fair mentorship programs let students investigate a 
          wide variety of science topics under the guidance of interested 
          community members.  These programs enhance the relations among school, 
          community, and home.

          An Alternative Science Fair
          [Science and Children v30 n2 p22-24 Oct 1992]
          Abstract:  Proposes the organization of noncompetitive science fairs 
          to create a more positive learning experience for children in the 
          elementary grades.  Describes methods of organizing and judging 
          science fair projects.

          Science Exhibitions Promote College and Community Interaction
          [Journal of Geological Education v39 n5 p376-378 Nov 1991]
          Abstract:  Science exhibitions presented by college students at local 
          elementary schools foster goodwill in the community; give college 
          students an opportunity to share their science as role models; provide 
          elementary school children with a positive, enjoyable approach to 
          science; and can be organized rather easily following guidelines that 
          outline procedures for all those involved. 
          
          Staff Development Program in Science K-5
          [Pub 1984]
          Abstract:  The need to reinforce the skills of science teachers and 
          supervisors and the need to increase student performance in the 
          sciences have become critical national concerns.  The importance of 
          quality science education grows as science and technology continue to 
          be major factors in our daily lives.  New York City has recognized the 
          need to enhance science teaching by providing assistance in staff 
          development.  This publication was produced to serve as a resource for 
          those involved in upgrading and developing science programs in the 
          schools.  Included in this publication are articles addressing the 
          philosophy and methodology of elementary science teaching, exemplary 
          lesson plans, approaches to working with children, activities for 
          students and teachers, information on inter-relating reading and 
          science in the classroom, field trips, stimulating science interest, 
          science fairs, a textbook review, evaluation techniques, and a 
          bibliography.  Five appendices cover (1) "What Research Says"; (2) 
          "Parallel and Series Circuits"; (3) "Behavior of Mealworms"; (4) "Can 
          You Find?"; and (5) "Lifestyle Survey Form".

          Science Program Integrates Northern Environment  
          [North American Environment v1 n1 p18-19 Sum 1988] 
          Abstract:  Describes environmental education activities available in 
          the Northwest Territories including the "Science Alive" project, the 
          "Dial an Expert" service, and a science fair program provided by the 

          Science Institute of the Northwest Territories.  Gives an outline of 
          the Institute.  Provides some demographic and geographic data of the 
          region.

          Inventing Creative Sciencing
          [Childhood Education v65 n1 p5-7 Fall 1988]
          Abstract:  Maintains that inventing, which is a creative problem-
          solving approach in science, should be a part of the science 
          curriculum.  Invention fairs, an alternative to science fairs, can be 
          an exciting and educationally sound addition to the curriculum for a 
          wide range of students.
