SMILE PROGRAM INDEX OF ALL LESSONS
The SMILE website is hosted by the Illinois Institute of Technology
The following is a collection of almost 1000 single concept lessons
along with lists of references, places to obtain hands on materials and
supplies and information about how to start and/or organize a science
fair. The lists of references and the science fair information was
developed by the SMILE plus participants during the summers of 1994 -
1996.
The lessons may be freely copied and used in a classroom but they
remain the copyright property of the author.
You should probably use the 'search page' or 'edit/find on page'
abilities of your particular Web Browser to locate a particular topic,
title, author or school.

Science Fair
The following files provide a series of time lines, sample letters,
forms and references for organizing and running a school Science Fair.
Readers are, however, encouraged to use their local libraries,
consultants and resources as their primary source of information about
how their particular Principal or district operates. Introduction and justification for a
Science Fair.
General information and timelines.
Organizational Timeline for running a
Science Fair.
Student Timelines for preparing to
participate in a Science Fair.
Samle letter to parents about the Science
Fair.
Sample letters to judges.
Sample judging forms.
Sample judging criterion and guidelines.
References for science projects.
Interesting Web addresses.
An extensive list of general science
and math references.
The SMILE, SMILE+ and ISPP groups have developed a source list for hands on classroom materials
and supplies
which are inexpensive and useful. Since this list was developed by
Chicago area groups, most of the sources are in the Chicago area. This
list is by no means complete and readers are urged to send their
favorite sources to either this address (smile@iit.edu) or Dr. Porter
Johnson at the address listed on the home page.
Brief advice about the configuration needed for a computer for
classroom administration (grading, test writing, etc.) outside of the
classroom is provided through a computer
configuration table. Note that this table was developed in the fall
of 1994 and may be somewhat out of date but it will give the reader
some idea as to what you might need at home to run two of the programs
that each of these groups was provided. The two shareware programs we
provide are available through many sources. The first is GRADE GUIDE
(Ver 2.5 from Jon Kane, 2814 Regent St. Madison, Wisconsin 53705) which
is a gradebook type of program. All of our teachers are strongly
encouraged to keep their records on some type of computerized
spreadsheet/data base. The second is PC-Write (Ver 2.71), a word
processor. Again, the participants are encouraged to use some type of
word processor to produce and save their materials. There are also
several places which have inexpensive used
computer hardware.
