Meet our Science in Motion Staff
Alabama Science in Motion (ASIM) is the High School Science component of AMSTI. The goals of Science in Motion are to provide high-tech laboratory experiences for students and effective professional development for teachers. In many instances, the cost of the equipment involved would be prohibitive for individual schools or even systems. Sharing this equipment through Science in Motion offers equally enriching opportunities to students from different backgrounds and schools. Professional development workshops improve teacher mastery of subject matter and equipment use. Through these workshops teachers from different school systems gain the opportunity to network with peers, sharing both content knowledge and teaching techniques. Program specialists may also team teach during classroom visits increasing the teacher-student ratio and providing additional content knowledge.
