Classroom Visits

The CCMR Educational Outreach Program (EOP) regularly visits classrooms to present hands-on science modules and/or give science talks. Presentations are given by Cornell faculty, post docs, graduate and undergraduate students, and staff to all grade levels.

Lesson plans for many of the modules we use can be found in our lending library of experiments. If you don’t find the right activity for your classroom, let us know. We might be able to suggest an appropriate one or even develop a new module to help meet your needs. Every effort is made to align the hands-on modules with Next Generation Science Standards.

Previous visits have included:

• Ithaca Montessori School in Ithaca, NY.
