Science Curriculum Support Project

Prof. N.P. Ong works with middle school teachers to develop education products to be placed on the web site of the Princeton Center for Complex Materials (PCCM). Many teacher training sessions have been developed directly as result of the Science Curriculum Support Program (SCSP).

PCCM director Ravindra Bhatt works with N.P. Ong and teachers on SCSP curriculum. These STC middle school kits are adopted in thousands of districts across the US.

Nai-Phuan Ong, Robert Cava, Ravindra Bhatt, Daniel Steinberg.
Also Ben Essenburg and Jonathan Levine (undergraduates), and Yayu Wang, Nyrissa Rogado, Maw Lin Foo, and Virginia Miller (graduate students).

Princeton’s Science Curriculum Support Project (SCSP) brings together MRSEC faculty and local lead teachers to improve commercially developed science kits in use in schools across the country. These SCSP teams publish helpful hints on PCCM’s website for use by teachers and the general public. The SCSP helps teachers better understand the science they share with their students. Each of these teachers has over 100 middle school students in their classroom each day meaning over 900 students per school year will directly benefit from SCSP. Thousands of teachers that use these kits can freely use our website to improve science teaching with the kits.
