Science Labs provide an up-close look at a topic through experiments and activities that help to build students’ understanding. Labs take place inside, but teachers are provided with an optional self-guided outdoor exploration to reinforce the topic independently. All labs are offered for grades K-12; specific activities change to meet the unique needs of your learners.

When: 
10-10:50 a.m., 11-11:50 a.m. or 12-12:50 p.m. on select days throughout the school year. Each session is limited to 30 students.
