AMSTI+Math+and+Science+Night

AMSTI Math and Science Night The purpose of the Alabama Math Science Technology Initative (AMSTI) is to improve math and science teaching in Alabama so all students develop the knowledge and skill necessary for success in postsecondary studies and in the workforce. To accomplish this, AMSTI provides teachers with ongoing grade and subject level professional development and the equipment and materials needed to teach math and science using hands on activity based instruction. Visit the AMSTI website at [|http://www.amsti.org] The students taught parents how to observe the dry and soaked bean seed. The parents carefully opened the bean seed, and discovered the important parts hidden inside. Parts hidden inside the bean seed are: cotyledon, embryo, and true leaf. Parents also observed the class garden in the hallway. Parents were able to easily identify their child's planter quad by the planter labels staked inside them. Parents had many question about the process the students went through in order to plant the brassica seeds. Every student quickly directed them to the science journal where our study all started with the KWL.
