"to develop a basic level of scientific literacy. Whether addressing a mundane or momentous issue, a solid foundation in the sciences is critical for every individual's success and the advancement as a society. Parents and caregivers can be instrumental in supporting children's engagement with science. A companion resource to Celebrating Science: A guide for expanding inquiry-based science education into the community, this suite of materials is meant to support elementary-aged students in bridging three areas of science: science at school, at home, and at work.

Yelena and Maria, the founders of the Moebius Noodles community and mathusiastic moms. We are inviting you to join ?Moebius Noodles Improv,? a parent and educator online class, during the first three weeks of November. Click "Participate" button to sign up: http://p2pu.org/en/groups/moebius-noodles-improv/content/full-description/ In our previous classes, we showed quite a few games for teaching advanced math concepts to young children in a relaxing and fun way that engages the entire family. This time around, we will teach you how to create your own games that fit your child?s unique interests and learning preferences. We will give you the confidence to improvise and create math games on the fly. The class is a cooperative, peer-to-peer gathering of adventurous grown-ups who want to enjoy advanced math with babies, toddlers and young kids. Think of it more like a get-together at your favorite coffee shop than a ?prim and proper? class.
