About | Scientists | Teachers | FAQ | Privacy Policy Fall 2005 ParticipantsHappy New Year! With the end of the year comes the official end of Adopt a Scientist 2005. We hope that you and your class enjoyed Adopt a Scientist and found it to be a valuable resource. Over the next few weeks, we will be evaluating Adopt a Scientist to determine whether it is worth repeating and/or how to make it more effective. Participant feedback is essential in this process, so please take a few minutes to fill out the Adopt a Scientist Survey. Thank you! About the Program
What’s it like to be a scientist? In this World Year of Physics program, high school physics students around the country will be finding out! This fall students will conduct email interviews with real scientists in all types of fields to find out what it means to be a scientist. As the students report their findings, the class will learn about the wide variety of opportunities available within science. Who are the scientists? The scientists are volunteers from all different fields, employers, backgrounds, and stages in life willing spend a few hours of their time investing in the next generation. Currently, 600 scientists have volunteered for more than 2,500 interviews for the fall 2005 semester. Who are the students? The students are high school physics students from around the country. Teachers can sign up their classes by going to the “Teachers” page. Cool idea! What else can you tell me? Adopt a Scientist is a joint project, in celebration of the World Year of Physics, by the following organizations: Adopt a Scientist was inspired by Jennifer Fischer, developed by Mika McKinnon, and is maintained by Kendra Rand.
