The Santa Clara Valley Section of the American Chemical Society
wants to provide elementary and secondary school educators with tools
they can use to revitalize science programs. The section is pleased
to announce a call for proposals from K-12 science teachers to apply
for an inaugural BUBBLE grant of up to $500 for worthwhile
science projects. Grants will be awarded for projects that
enhance the teaching of physical, life or earth science. This
grant program will consider funding of amounts requested in a proposal,
but reserves the right to fund some proposals partially. Budget
items may include, but are not limited to scientific equipment,
instructional materials, and supplies related to the proposed project.
