Palouse Discovery Science Center

“Project SOS: Making Connections Using the Science Of Sustainability,” funded by the National Science Foundation (DRL-1223290) developed programs, exhibit prototypes, and hands-on team challenges for youth (ages 11-15) and their families, focusing on “the science behind heat transfer and sustainable building design.” Participants learned basic concepts of physics and how to apply new skills and knowledge to save energy to make their homes more energy efficient.

 

Below is a description and visual overview of the project. All project components (slideshow, demonstrations, activities, lists of materials and supplies, and basic construction details of the exhibits) are described in the links on this website.

 

We invite you to explore the links and use these materials in your formal and/or informal science education programs. We are very interested in knowing whether you find them useful, and we welcome your feedback. For more information and to contact us, please write to Kathy Dawes, lead PI, at outreachpdsc@gmail.com.
