Indiana Expeditions
with Rick Crosslin
Season 2:
Fridays, February 6-27, 2009 at 4:30 pm
Rick Crosslin Educating Youths Don your adventurer's boots once again as award-winning science teacher Rick Crosslin whisks you off to experience science in ways you never imagined. The man who went from the Diet-Coke suit to coal mines in the first Indiana Expeditions series has a new lineup of fascinating ways to bring the fun of science home to kids and adults alike. See how the grossest insects are cool, what ties music and water together and why, even in the 1600's, Sir Isaac Newton must have been a huge sports fan!

Rick Crosslin is on leave from the Metropolitan School District of Wayne Township in Indianapolis, serving as school liaison for science learning at the world renowned Children’s Museum of Indianapolis. After earning an Emmy award for his production “Tale of a Bone," created with WFYI, Crosslin and WFYI join forces once again to bring Indiana Expeditions to Public Television. “Science is for everybody and demands that we get involved," says Crosslin. “Indiana Expeditions is about science that is accessible for all of us to try ourselves."

Teachers ToolitIn addition to the multi-part, multi-adventure series, Crosslin and the Indiana Expeditions team have created a companion DVD designed to help teachers’ grades 3-8 take their students even deeper into the fascinating world of science.
