Next Generation Sunshine State Stadards

Our programs are designed to enhance your curriculum & go hand-in-hand with the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards for Science.

During an in-school field trip, students are given the opportunity to use the tools a working scientist would use such as magnifying glasses, thermometers, graduated cylinders, scales & balances & more. Students are able to use these tools when experimenting to classify, measure, compare & hypothesize their observations. Access to these tools takes students beyond gathering data & helps to extend their senses.

Switch on the light bulb in your brain as you discover what’s “STATIC” and “CURRENT” in the world of electricity. Investigate open and closed circuits as you hook up light bulbs in series and parallel pathways.

Newton in a Nutshell©
Newton was right…objects in motion stay in motion! Experiment with the three laws of motion by launching rockets and spinning tops. Realize your “potential” as you test gravity, inertia and acceleration.

Power of Light©
Find out just how amazing light is. What is visible light? Discover who ROY G. BIV is and the electromagnetic spectrum. Uncover the mysteries behind light and why it is both wave like and particle like. Become “energized” as we learn about batteries and make bells ring and light bulbs light up.

What’s the Matter©
Experiment with the 3 states of matter. Make an edible molecule and learn about mass, volume, and density. Perform chemical changes as we mix acids and bases. “Taste” how cool physical changes can be by making a slushie.
