Mission Statement:

The mission of Bill Bosworth and The Science Alliance is to offer a hands-on science experience designed to inspire kids to become enthusiastic about science and to augment and enhance your organization's curriculum or theme. Our goal is to help build kids' self esteem by encouraging them to ask questions, experiment and test theories. By learning to become critical thinkers and problem-solvers and to develop teamwork abilities, kids gain the confidence that is so often lacking in the subject of science.

Philosophy/Belief Statement:

We believe that education needs to go beyond data and information accumulation and progress toward the generation of useful and applicable knowledge...a process supported by inquiry-based learning. These up-close and personal presentations & workshops will meet every expectation of unforgettable learning adventures! We GUARANTEE your kids will be alive with excitement and laughter and the unmistakable buzz of children having fun while learning.

Program History:

Bill Bosworth taught high school Chemistry, Physics and Biology for ten years in Lake Geneva WI before deciding that a more hands-on, inquiry-based teaching style was necessary to inspire children to have fun while experiencing the world of science first-hand. In 1990 Bosworth established "The Science Alliance" and for 20 years has traveled around the Midwest sparking enthusiasm in hundreds of thousands of K-8 kids to further their science studies, read more about science, participate in science fairs and even seek a career in the many fields of science available to them.

Testimonials:

"Awesome!"..."That was the best science class ever!"..."Mr. Bos is the coolest!"..."I think science has just become my favorite class!"
"These are just a few of the comments that students at Whitewater Middle School expressed after witnessing Bill Bosworth's hands-on educational show, Close Encounters of the Chemical Kind!...As a sixth grade science teacher, I know firsthand the dread that some students feel when confronted with the daunting task of understanding chemistry. However I cannot begin to express the change in attitude and the growth in knowledge that became so obvious after experiencing Close Encounters of the Chemical Kind! Students now look forward to learning Chemistry and ask much more insightful questions after watching and participating in Mr. Bosworth's show. Mr. Bosworth’s energy, excitement, and knowledge are contagious. He has a natural affinity with kids and his humor is threaded throughout the show. Anyone who is fortunate enough to witness one of his shows will have a newfound appreciation for chemistry."
- William Stallings - 6th Grade Science Teacher - Whitewater Middle School, Whitewater, WI
