Science Super Star Program

Are you a Science Super Star?

Teachers, do you enthusiastically bring science experiences across the curriculum into your classroom?  Do all your students participate in hands-on lessons and read and write about science?  Do you and your colleagues collaborate to bring engaging science experiences to their classrooms?  Does your school's staff take full advantage of the services that CRS provides to them?  If you’ve answered "yes", your classroom ​or your whole school​ can take the Science Super Star Challenge!
