Over the next few weeks, 950
students from four different West
Kootenay school districts will be
visiting the NEC to experience the
exhibit, The Living Factories.

viding assistance and adding to the
learning experience

The exhibition focuses on the
many facets of science, particularly
‘biotechnology; giving the viewer a
better understanding of how
biotechnology affects our everyday
lives and what the future holds.

The visit begins with the WKTEP
student teachers discussing science
with the younger students, who in
turn question and discuss the
ideas—an interactive learning expe-
rience.

According to the teacher’s guide
to The Living Factories, students
are encouraged to play the roles of

The West Kootenay National Exhibition
Centre is not just a haven for artistic expres-
sion.

The centre staff are currently working in
conjunction with the West Kootenay Teacher
Education Program (WKTEP), offering
young students throughout the region some

explorer, journalist, inspector or
student. They must observe in order to find
answers, make comparisons, become better
informed, and pay attention to association
games throughout the exhibition.

Students and teachers are provided with a
guide to the eight part exhibition, which takes
an hour to visit. Each station in the exhibition

represents one of the eight different themes;
The Cell, DNA, Food, Health, Agriculture,
Forestry, The Environment and Research and
Marketing—and explains each while drawing
parallels to the science of biotechnology.

January 24.

“We'll go through it again in class on Mon-
day,” he said.

Kirk Blank, Fred Mondin and Kerri Hall

elementary students. The interaction with
younger students is done as a practicum, as

Lepsoe said he noticed a very high level of
Participation in his students.

“Because of the constant movement, from
Station to station, they really had to focus,”
Stelck said. “Their group skills are working
well today—they all thoroughly enjoyed the
visit. Having the student teachers here to
explain and guide them through helped.”

The Living Factories is a production of the
Corporation de la Semaine des sciences du
Quebec, in cooperation with the National
Museum of Science and Technology and runs

until February 25, 1992.
