Project
L.A.B.S.S. :
A federally funded activity,
Project L.A.B.S.S. aimed at developing experiments and other
modifications in order to include students with disablities in
chemistry laboaratory experiences. The L.A.B.S.S. project
concluded in the Fall of 1997, but the ideas, experiments, and
modification practices developed as part of the project are still
very much utilized in the department. Project L.A.B.S.S. gained
national and international recognition through many publications
and presentations by the project developers and staff.
JASON
PROJECT :
In 1998, AUM will become a
network site for the Jason Project. The Jason Project is a year
long, award winning science education program which uses
satellite broadcasts, the internet, and scientific investigations
to excite and engage students in science and technology. It is
currently active in approximately 35 states and involves hundreds
of thousands of grade 4 - 9 students and teachers. This year,
students will be invited to the AUM campus to view live
broadcasts from Monterey Bay, Bermuda, and the Guaymas Basin in
the Sea of Cortez as Jason IX : Oceans of Earth and Beyond
takes students on a fascinating journey of scientific
discovery.
