Headwaters science institute continues its weekly program Lunch With A Scientist. This series offers students of all ages exposure to working STEM professionals. Each week students are introduced to a new scientist who will present his or her research and answer questions from the audience. This is a great way to still give students insight into science-related careers while learning remotely. Watch the talks Tuesdays at 11 a.m. on YouTube or Facebook Live or find them in the archives on the Headwaters website. There are also downloadable worksheets and vocabulary lists related to each session. Info: headwatersscienceinstitute.org
