3. CSIRO trial school invite

Are there any South Australian primary and secondary schools interested in trialling new Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) educational resources in the new 2011 school year? By being involved in the program trial schools will be given CCS teaching resources in hard copy and electronically with all of the tools and assistance needed to maintain a term-long teaching unit (8-10 weeks).Trial schools would be asked to implement the educational resource with an appropriate class at the school and participate in an evaluation of the educational resource. It will be requested that schools annotate the hard copy with comments, collect student work samples and any photographs of students involved in activities cited in the educational resources and share these with me so that I can take their ideas and class experiences into account on rewriting the educational units. Trial schools would also be invited to respond to an online evaluation questionnaire during this review and trial.
