Making Sense of Change:
Summer Institute on Hands-On Science
Throughout the Curriculum
(July 25-August 5, 2005)

...the earth and all therein, the sky
And all thereunder change and change again,
We too ourselves, who of this world are part,
Not only flesh and blood but pilgrim souls....
Ovid. Metamorphosis (1-8 A.C.E.)

All that you touch
You Change.
All that you Change
Changes you.
The only lasting truth
Is Change....
Earthseed: The Books of the Living
Octavia Butler, Parable of the Sower (1993)

Welcome to the home page of a Summer Institute on "Making Sense of Change," held at Bryn Mawr College in 2005. Like others in the series, this Institute is designed to bring together college faculty and K-12 teachers to discuss current understandings of about teaching hands-on science throughout the curriculum. The Institutes are sponsored by Bryn Mawr College and the Bryn Mawr/Haverford K-16 Collaborations in Science and Mathematics Education with support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
