The Discovery Science Center located in Santa Ana is a playground filled with scientific experiments for young children. The facility itself is a wonderful resource for any educator able to schedule a field trip, but the Discovery Science Center also has valuable programs available to educators free of charge. The first of these is the Teacher Education Network (TEN), a network for Southern California science teachers. TEN members can also receive rewards for their participation, such as free field trips and outreach programs. Another program for developing professionals is the standard based TEAMS (Teacher Education Advancement in Math and Science). Each month, a TEAMS workshop addresses math, science and language arts concepts through story books like If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. At the end of these workshops, teachers will receive a copy of the lesson plan and $60 worth of classroom materials for free. Lastly, and the most interesting, is the Free Educators’ Evening of Science; a relaxing preview of upcoming educational programs after which drinks and hors d’oeuvres are provided. If you are interested in any of these programs above, I encourage you do visit the professional development department of the Discovery Science Center using the link below.
