Do you want to make science more fun and meaningful for your students? If yes and you are an elementary school teacher this program is for you!

It is a fact. Kids love to play with toys. In this program, teachers learn how to use these same toys as valuable, user-friendly scientific tools that link science concepts and everyday experiences. You will explore chemistry and physics principles using toys and other common objects, expand your repertoire of hands-on science activities and knowledge, and learn effective strategies for using toy-based science activities in your classroom. You will spend much of your time exploring hands-on activities that have been created for the grade level you teach.

This program provides a unique opportunity to enhance your science curriculum through innovative activities that support the new National Science Standards. For more information regarding the TOYS program at the University of Houston, please contact Prof. Mamie Moy.

Extra Benefit: Meet other teachers, share classroom experiences and more..
