Hands-On Science
Hands-On Science
Funded in partnership with the PTO and School Community Council, the Hands-On Science Program cultivates curiosity, connections, and critical thinking skills through science and engineering education
Lab-Based Classes
Every student engages in science and engineering labs individually and together in small groups to further explore the science content covered in their classrooms.
Field Trips and Classroom Visits
Each grade has the opportunity to participate in at least one science-based field trip to extend their learning and explore the world outside.
Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) Fairs
All students are invited and encouraged to submit a science, engineering, or science-based art project for the STEAM Fairs. Students get to practice their science communication skills as they speak with judges about their projects and receive recognition for their work.
Volunteer with the Hands-On Science Program
1. Lab & Field Trip Volunteer
Student learning during hands-on science and engineering labs is enhanced with additional adult support. The labs are already written and will be set up on the day of the labs. Volunteers come in right before the class begins and then help guide students through the lab. Science knowledge is not necessary. We will train you before the students arrive. Ideally, each lab will have 1-3 adult volunteers. You can volunteer to help with one lab, all labs, field trips, or any combination.
2. STEAM Fair Judge:
60 adult judges are need to speak with 4th-6th grade students about their projects and assign a score to 10-20 projects based on a scoring rubric.
3. Green Team:
Community Representatives are needed to participate in the Green Team to help create, support, promote, and complete the sustainability initiative action plan developed by the students.
