Science On Wheels Full Day Programs

Skip to content

A full day experience creates an exciting atmosphere throughout your school, sparking interest and enthusiasm for learning about science for students of all ages. Students will have the opportunity to experience the following activities:

• Start the day with an all-school science assembly that introduces students to the topic of the day.
• Our teachers then visit 10-15 classrooms throughout the day to engage students with hands-on lessons.
• Classes can visit our interactive exhibit area that serves as a mini-science center for further hands-on investigation of concepts related to the day’s theme.
