Westminster College recently added two members to its Science in Motion staff.
Melissa Krenzer, a former science specialist at Grove City Christian Academy, has been named elementary mobile educator, and Dr. Floyd J. Zehr, professor of physics emeritus who taught at Westminster from 1965-2000, is the new physics mobile educator.
They join Stephanie Corrette-Bennett, biology mobile educator; and Bernard Durkin, chemistry mobile educator director of the Science in Motion Program at Westminster College.
The Science in Motion program brings vans equipped with state-of-the-art laboratory equipment and experiments to area Pennsylvania school students.
"We now have $112,500 of scientific instrumentation and computer hardware," said Durkin. "This year we visited 46 schools where we conducted experimental instruction, 35 instrumental loans, and eight experimental instruction visits. We also encourage schools to visit our Hoyt Science Resources Center for a day of science-related activities appropriate for their grade level."
A series of five workshops for teachers are scheduled for the month of June. Each of these workshops will earn the participant six hours of professional development each day to meet the Act 48 requirements. Also scheduled are four two-day introductory workshops for new teachers in each of the content areas of elementary, biology, chemistry, and physics, in addition to a three-day curriculum development workshop for veteran teachers.
The Pennsylvania Department of State funds this project through the Higher Education Basic Education Science and Technology Partnership.
