There are different ways that you can help us! We want you to find something that you feel comfortable doing and that you enjoy. Feel free to try many different things.

• K-12 Visits
  • K-12 visits involve doing experiments with students between kindergarten and 12th grade. You will hear about opportunities from Dr. Bellamy via e-mail or you can check out our online list. E-mail Dr. Bellamy or use our online form when you find an opportunity that interests you. Remember, you do not have to do a visit alone. Lots of help is available from both us and teachers. Check out our description of a typical visit under "Visit Basics". It is also great if you have heard of an opportunity that we have not. Let us know about it and we will help you!
    
    
• Interviews
  • We are putting out a bi-monthly newsletter called "Focus On a Scientist". This is to help students see that scientists are real people too. We interview a CERSP scientist and then create a newsletter about him/her. We take a picture to include in the newsletter. We also create an activity that is associated with the scientist's research. You can volunteer to be one of these scientists. Check out the newsletter online to see some of your fellow scientists' interviews.
    
    
• Answer e-mails
  • Sometimes we get e-mails from students and teachers asking us questions about science and scientists. You can help us respond to these questions. We will send you an e-mail with a class's question and you will e-mail us a response, which we will then forward on to the class.
    
    
• Other Ways
  • There are other ways you can help. For example, you might think of a simple lab that teaches about what you do. Even if it seems too simple to you, it may be good to use with kids. Send us ideas via e-mail! Any other way you think of that you can help us is great! We are open to suggestions.

Now what?
Now you are ready to volunteer! You can do this by sending an e-mail to Dr. Bellamy or by using our online form.
