The Science of My Life, a blog by CSI Instructor Amy Christopherson

College of Southern Idaho faculty touch the lives of thousands of children in southern and eastern Idaho as they take science activities to K-12 teachers and students.

Topics include:

• What is science? What is a project? How do you design experiments?
• The ‘Black Box’
• Science tools – microscopes, measuring tools, dissection kits, ‘germ detection’, and simple machines
• Chemistry ‘lite’ – solids, gases, atoms, moleculres, compounds
• Animals in spring – owl pellet dissection, food webs, bug collecting
• Science games

Amy Christopherson, a biology instructor heavily involved in CSI outreach, has started a blog about her outreach activities, The Science of My Life. 

If you are looking for inspiration for your own science outreach, you will find it at CSI!
