For Teachers
We offer development programs and resources to help K-12 science teachers grow professionally and better serve their students. Also see our For Students page for science activities and other resources.
Classroom Outreach
Invite the expertise and research tools of the Mag Lab right into your own classroom.
On-site Outreach and Tours
During your visit, you and your class will talk to scientists, observe research in progress, and do hands-on science.
Classroom materials
These five downloadable, printer-friendly activities cover hands-on lessons in electricity and magnetism with materials as simple as Cheerios, paper clips and water.
Science in Literature
Check out these books that will kindle in your students a new appreciation for the sciences.
Curricula
Curricula covering comets, isotopes, optics and more.
Absolute Zero
This educational program, based on the PBS series, covers the frigid wonders of low-temperature physics.
EmergentLabs
Teachers and scientists from the lab's Condensed Matter Science program and Applied Superconductivity Center provide lectures and hands-on training to middle and high school science teachers.
Electricity and Magnetism: A to Z
Good science Web sites for kids.
Professional Development
CIRL's professional development offerings include school workshops that explore natural science and the process of scientific inquiry. We deliver creative, compelling content that correlates to state and national standards.
After School Workshops.
Workshops are scheduled based on school needs and are designed to provide strategies and activities that teachers can implement the next day in the classroom.
Teacher Workshops
Our workshops provide K-12 science educators practice with hands-on, inquiry-based activities.
Research Experiences for Teachers (RET)
This six-week summer residential program gives K-12 teachers the chance to do real-world research.
Project MagLab Recertification
Science teachers seeking recertification in Florida will find helpful resources here pertaining to magnets and electricity.
Mag Lab Educators Club
If you have ever wondered what the Magnet Lab has to offer or if you are looking for ways to broaden your physical science lesson plans, then the Magnet Lab Educators Club is for you.
Summer Energy Program
High school students and teachers conduct research and learn about power grids, environmentally responsible power systems, renewable energy, and current and future power delivery systems. Hosted at Florida State University's Center for Advanced Power Systems and the Mag Lab, the program is part of an initiative by the Future Renewable Electric Energy Delivery and Management (FREEDM) Systems Center to help develop a diverse group of adaptive, creative, globally connected and innovative students for the workforce.
