One
To Two Weeks Before A Visit
Obtain
the following information from the classroom teacher in order to
prepare your suitcase and make a take-home flyer:
- School
name, school address, teacher's name, classroom location
- Ages
of students
- Number
of students
-
Take four extra sets of theme packets and flyers
(one for the teacher, one for you, and two spares)
- Length
of presentation
- Number
of presentations
- Will
you speak to one or two classes?
- The
setting and the teacher's expectations
- Is
your visit part of a career day at school where others are
coming in to describe their occupations as well?
- Is
your visit being used to emphasize experiments that demonstrate
“fun with science”?
- Is
your visit being used as part of a science unit on the topic
of physics?
- Protocol
for entering the school
- You
will probably report to the school office
- Appropriate
arrival time
- 20
minutes before the target class time?
- Will
there be time available to set-up in the classroom?
- Would
the teacher like a short biography to introduce you to the class?
The
day before your visit
Check
the contents of your suitcase, print out the flyers, print a transparency
of the flyer to use on the overhead projector, and take some time
to practice, even if you simply run through the presentation in
your mind. If you have a laser pointer, you might bring it along,
but be careful not to share it with anyone or leave it where
it can be “borrowed”.
