Hattiesburg, MS, July 2, 2008 - William Carey University will host the Teachers Summer Science Workshop July 7 through 11 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. in Fairchild Hall on the Hattiesburg campus.

“We want to offer teachers and parents the knowledge to inspire curiosity moments in science with their children,” said Lee.

Workshop projects include studying electromagnets, storing energy in the spring of a toy horse and gauging the electricity generated by a tiny windmill. Materials for the workshop are from the Educational Innovations catalogue and Partnership for Learning products.
