The best learning is hands-on learning, but, how does one teach educators, both pre-service and in-service, techniques when there are limited resources and, in some cases, limited science preparation?  What makes for effective teacher pre- or in-service programs?  In both methods courses for pre-service teachers and in-service workshops (one-day and multi-week programs), a number of strategies and techniques were developed to motivate teachers and get them utilizing what they learned in the classroom.  Some of these involved development of concepts, hands-on activities, providing low cost materials, and a lending library of demonstrations and activities.
