Pacific Science Center is proud to bring our innovative, hands-on science programs to students across Washington state and beyond, enhancing your science and math curricula while igniting student curiosity and fueling a passion for discovery, experimentation and critical thinking. Whether we travel to your school or you visit us on a field trip to our Seattle campus or Mercer Slough Environmental Education Center, our school programs will encourage your students to think of science as a timeless process of inquiry, discovery and problem-solving, and inspire them to ask questions, develop hypotheses, conduct experiments and evaluate evidence in all aspects of their lives. Explore a new scientific topic or theme every other month! With a variety of activities, demonstrations, and presentations, all ages will find something to ignite their curiosity.
