Education
https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm16/preliminaryview.cgi/Session12506.html

Session Description:
Share your most effective, most fun, and most interesting science 
demonstrations, hands-on activities, and simple measurements that help 
learners of any age understand concepts related to any AGU field.  Be 
sure to include instructions (or a link to the instructions), as well as 
alignments to the Next Generation Science Standards, where appropriate. 
Sharing your accomplishments can contribute to the capabilities of 
others who can benefit from your experiences. All types of educators are 
welcome, from elementary to postgraduate, to those in informal science 
settings.   For poster presenters, don't forget to order a table or 
electricity if you need it (tables, power, etc. will be at an extra 
cost; ordering information available in late fall 2016).
