Combined Schools

Full Option Science System Modules (FOSS) are hands-on science kits designed by Larry Lowerey at the at the Lawrence Hall of Science. Each module comes equipped with enough hands-on materials for an entire class to be engaged in an activity. Students are asked to observe, compare, relate, organize, analyze and synthesize information through age-appropriate activities and assesments.

This project is a multi-site, multi-site workshop to create a series of stories painted on eggs, inspired by what the children have learned about the fragility of the world and caring. Each class will be involved in an in-depth 3 weekcworkshope. Ideas will originate from classroom discussions and by the artist, Cathee van Rossem St. Clair. This program has been previously assisted by the California Arts Council, however they are ineligible for funding this year by this organization.

This cooperative grant will be used to purchase computer equipment and accompanying software to incorporate computers into high school science curriculum at both NTHS and THS. This will be used extensively in Physics, Chemistry and Physical Science classes and can also be used in cross-curricular lessons involving all computer classes and math classes.
