Abstract
This paper describes a project designed to enhance K-8 teacher professional development in science instruction by utilizing the communication and data exchange capabilities of the Internet. The goals of this project were primarily met by developing and delivering a graduate summer course for Idaho K-8 teachers. The content of the course was physical science. New, Internet based science/chemistry activities were developed as a part of this course and are discussed in this paper. As a result of this project, we have noted an increase in science instruction in the participants' classrooms.
