For Educators

  • Remote Schooling Support with WiPA
    • A team of students associated with UCSC’s Women in Physics and Astrophysics  (WiPA) is on standby, ready to support you in achieving your remote schooling  vision. Need fun science demo videos to compliment your lesson plans? Need  advice on what technology to use to make your plans work? Need a webpage or  web interactive to enhance student engagement, but you have no idea where to  begin? We are a team of eager physicists and educators, and we are here to  help!
    • For more information, contact Hava Schwartz at hrschwar@ucsc.edu 
  • Meet the Scientist Demonstration Videos
    • Suitable to middle school and high school students, videos of live physical  demonstrations of science concepts are prepared. Additionally, undergraduate  and graduate STEM students share their experiences and illuminate the day-to day life of a scientist. If you’re looking for a short supplement to your lesson plan or a longer memorable experience to turn your students into scientists, we may  have the thing for you. Special requests accepted.

  • Exciting Virtual Science Lesson Plans
    • Great for an extra-special class or an extracurricular activity, remote curricula  have been developed for exploring some exciting science concepts, such as  exoplanets, condensed matter physics, and even biology. Students are guided  through online projects in a crafted and easy-to-use online notebook. Curricula  can also be passed off to teachers to be used in chunks or as desired.

  • Custom Mail-Out Science Kits
    • Women in Science and Engineering (WiSE) are ready on deck to serve as your  elves and package kits to be mailed to students for class or extracurricular  activities. This is the perfect opportunity to enact those lesson plans that you  haven’t had the time or resources to implement.
