Comments from Educators & Chaperones
“Wow- the knowledge base was fabulous- on their level and engaging!”
“Each program was extremely educational. The instructors did a good job keeping the language at the children’s level. My favorite was the butterflies.”
“Nicely set up. Great times for each section. Love the small groups. Speakers were great.”
“This program is wonderful for our community and children. Keep working hard. We appreciate all you do.”
“Loved the herb garden and butterflies! Students were enthralled with the beautiful plants and butterflies. The speakers were very friendly and knowledgeable. Actively involved the students in the discussions and activities.”
“Everything was well organized. Each station provided hands on activities and actively involved the kids. Many opportunities for the students to have new experiences were provided.”
“Thank you for all you do! Your flexibility and patience help make this field trip worthwhile. P.S. Thanks for helping me teach the Kentucky Core Content.”
“Presentations were age appropriate. Well organized- Liked the small groups. Hands on- Didn’t have to bring supplies!!”
“Botanical Garden- small groups, atmosphere, very knowledgeable and patient instructors.
"Science Museum- very educational, hands on and fun.”
“Overall theme (how does biotechnology help you) or Why are plants important to you. All activities relate to a topic that is related to the students’ lives.”
“The students get to see real plants in their natural environment. The materials were age appropriate and connected well to our core content. The instructors told what they teaching us and why- lots of real world connections. Thank you for having us. They learned a lot and LOVED it!”
“It took things we have taught and put it into the “real world” They see it!”
“Content was related to our science studies. The activities were “hands on” and stimulated higher level thinking discussion. I think all the kids left today with new knowledge.”
“The children had a lot of hands on experiences today here at the Garden and at the Museum! Thank you for providing so, so many wonderful opportunities and experiences that most of them would not have done if you had not had this for them. This is an amazing EXPERIENCE for ALL.”
“This is the first time I have been here and it is an amazing experience to provide for our entire community and especially our schools!!”
“I liked the way the science curriculum was perfectly integrated into all the lessons”
“I liked the reference to local places involved with biotechnology.”
“Presentations were carefully prepared and appropriate timed for 4th graders. The opportunity to be outside in a “garden” is important to these children. Presentations reinforced curriculum and introduced new vocabulary and concepts of biotechnology and a career in Owensboro.”
