On Saturday, October 18, 1997, Region 4
participants visited the facilities of the National Weather Service
in Lincoln, IL. This special opportunity was a result of their
participation in the ISBE sponsored project - Near & Far Sciences
for Illinois. In addition to the weekend workshop devoted to the
topic of meteorology, the teachers collaborated in programs focusing
on astronomy and geology. Prior to the completion of the N&FS
initiative, each teacher will conduct a one-day shadow study of a
scientist working in one of these three fields. The long term goal of
the N&FS project is to prepare a statewide cadre of teachers who
can serve as science consultants for each Regional Office of
Education.
