Teaching and Research: Teacher Workshops
ANNUAL CoE WORKSHOPS ON TEACHING THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE
The Committee on Education Workshops at the HSS annual meetings feature creative teaching methods that work. Both college and pre-college educators will find ideas and materials which can be used in their classes. Live demonstrations and informative handouts are featured. Our past programs have featured the following topics:
