Most of these
activities are offered at no charge to Lincoln County (Oregon)
teachers. Those that do require a small fee are noted in
the activity list. Teachers simply “check out” the activity much as they
would a book at a local library. The activity is delivered at
least 24 hours (usually longer) prior to the date required by the
teacher. And, the activity is picked up when the teacher has
finished presenting the activity to the class.
Typically these activities come with the following:
-
All materials necessary to
complete the activity
-
Most activities have 5 complete
sets so that the teacher can break their class into teams, each
independently conducting the activity
-
One printed copy describing the
steps to the activity (teachers may copy these freely)
-
A video demonstrating the use
of the activity
-
If desired by the teacher, a
facilitator is available to assist when the activity is presented to
the class
In addition, the Lincoln
County School District recorded 17 videos of “Wiggle Watcher World”
in 2010 which are also available. The videos of this series
present the 19 topics covered in the Wiggle Watcher activities.
In some of these videos, well known Earth scientists are interviewed
on a particular topic. Each of the videos shows at least one
(and as many as five) of the Wiggle Watcher activities. Click HERE to see these
videos.
