AirUCI Project Scientist serves as science coach

Dr. Lisa Wingen, AirUCI Project Scientist, is participating in an outreach effort this school year as a "science coach" for a 5th grade teacher at Castille Elementary School in Mission Viejo.  She will act as a resource and assistant for Mrs. Smiggs in implementing science enrichment activities for the class. 
 
The American Chemical Society (ACS) sent Dr. Wingen a set of free supplies for 4th-6th grade chemistry students in the form of a two-part pH experiment that fit nicely into the classroom's science project on water quality of local lakes and streams.  Along with answering chemistry questions when the teacher or her students have them, Dr. Wingen has also enrolled in the ACS Ambassadors Program which encourages chemists to help local communities to understand science concepts more deeply.  She will use the resources from this program also to assist Mrs. Smiggs in her classroom.
