PROGRAM

All lectures and hands-on laboratories will be held at the Genecov Science Building in Room G223. All theory and experiments will be provided in handout format. The TEKS cited are from Texas Education Code 28.002 with the specific provisions of code 112.21 effective September 1, 1998.NOTE: Due to the similarity in many of the TEKS for each age group, the experiments listed below can easily be adapted for other age groups.

At the conclusion of each experiment, participants will be guided through the process of developing TAKS type assessment questions that could be used on their classroom tests.
