A COOPERATIVE EFFORT OF THE TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY SEA GRANT COLLEGE PROGRAM AND DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATIONAL CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION
NSF reveals Science Week plansThe National Science Foundation
has announced its third National Sci-
ence and Technology Week for April 5-
11, 1987. The Week will include nation-
wide programs and activities designed
to get the general public, and particular-
iy young people, interested and in-
volved in science, mathematics, engin-
eering and technology.
National Science and Technology
Week '87 involves numerous corpor-ations, professional associations,
museums, libraries, research centers,
community groups, schools and univer-
sities. Highlights of the week's events
include:
o A launch of 200,000 balloons at
the beginning of the week, with weath-
er cards to be returned by the finder.
Those interested in participating
should contact Triangle Coalition,
attention Dr. Livermore, NationalScience Teachers Association, 1742
Connecticut Ave., N.W., Washington,
D.C. 20009.
A traveling exhibit on biological
diversity, produced by the National Sci-
ence Foundation and the Smithsonian
Institution. For further information on
the exhibit, entitled Diversity Endan-
gered, as well as showing dates and
locations, write Smithsonian Institu-
tion, SITES, Washington, D.C. 20560.
o A national art competition for
high school seniors, The Art of Sci-
ence, that will culminate during the
week. Contact Nan Smith or Wendy
Jacobsen, National Science Founda-
tion, 202/357-9838, for more informa-
tion.
o Educational activity packets
that will help students explore scientif-
ic concepts, to be distributed to ele-
mentary and middle/junior high schools
in. every state. These kits will include
teaching activities with hands-on
experiments, and are designed to help
students explore important concepts
in science and technology.
National Science and Technology
Week coordinators also suggest that
students assume the character of a
famous scientist or engineer to re-
create, or even anticipate, a great
moment in science. Students also
could produce a science-related video
or radio broadcast, or a special news-
paper with scientific games, puzzles
and stories.
One suggestion for more advanced
classes is to have members work with
younger students on a topic, such as
camouflage in nature, to create cam-
ouflage designs for various back-
grounds.
The first two National Science and
Technology Weeks, in 1985 and 1986,
were held in May, but Week coordin-
ator Mary Keeney said this was too
