Baxter Symposium Session

Presenter: Jess Sparacino, UL Research Institutes

UL Research Institutes (ULRI), a global leader in independent safety science research, anticipates and responds to risks in public safety. Come learn how this relevant safety science is translated into inspiring resources for 6-12th grade students. From lessons learned about human energy needs to fire sprinklers, ULRI is committed to sharing their research on the free platform - xplorlabs.org. Join us in exploring the science behind real-world phenomena like thermal runaway, fire dynamics, and e-waste! During this session, we will be exploring real safety science phenomena, investigating them utilizing a student perspective, and discussing how you can implement these learning activities into your own science classroom. Join us to try out the hands-on investigations, online interactives, videos, and opportunities for partnerships included in these completely free, NGSS-aligned resources!
