Teachers Invited To Apply For STEM Kit On Sensors
Montana educators of children in grades K-2 are invited to apply for a free Sensing for Science kit from Montana State University. The kit includes seven ready-to-go lessons with the necessary materials and is appropriate for a school or out-of-school setting.
The content introduces early elementary students to the concepts, functions and uses of sensors — tools scientists use to monitor the environment and solve problems. For example, sensors such as air quality monitors, thermal and smoke detectors, and weather instruments help track environmental conditions, detect hazards like wildfires and provide data for forecasting and public safety.
Interested educators are invited to learn more and apply at www.mtnsfepscor.org/ educator-resources. The application deadline is Monday, Dec. 8. Contact 406-994-2336 or taylor@montana.edu. for more information.
