K-12 Outreach: physics.purdue.edu/outreach
Physics and Astronomy Outreach is ran by Dr. David Sederberg. It has many programs but also makes Classroom Calls, providing resources and expertise for the K-12 classroom teachers. Whether he is providing a “Scientist on Site” for a classroom talk and demonstration, support for lesson design and implementation, or work with teachers to provide a novel learning experience, Physics and Astronomy Outreach is eager to spread our enthusiasm for learning science. Keep up with the latest on K-12 outreach on the outreach website, the YouTube page, or on Twitter/X.
