Educator Workshop: The Science of Spying @ University of Maryland
May 17, 2010 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm
Your Mission: Use the science of spying to infuse your curriculum with exciting new standards-based science activities!
From the chemistry of liquid crystals, to the mechanics of smart wire, to the high tech know-how of new nano materials, science holds the answer to many-a-spy's secrets. In this educator workshop, teachers will learn how to use espionage scenarios as a context for standards-driven science content and activities. Participants will have an opportunity to explore inquiry-based nanoscience activities that can be replicated in the classroom.
Join Bob Wallace, former head of the CIA Office of Technical Services for this rare opportunity to gain insight from a real former spy on the role of science and technology in the world of espionage. Working in partnership, the International Spy Museum and the University of Maryland MRSEC have created resource materials for classroom use.
$20 per educator
Event takes place at the International Spy Museum
All participants will receive sample materials, lesson plans, and a packet of resource materials to support their classroom teaching. A picnic-style dinner will be served.
