Make memories at ScienceWorks! Bring your class to the museum for a field trip full of hands-on, STEM activities they won't forget.

Field trips include a workshop and time for self-guided museum exploration.

 

• Engineering with LEGO (PreK-12th)

In our popular LEGO engineering workshops, students work together to solve problems, use critical thinking skills, and work together in order to complete engineering challenges.

• • NGSS Alignment LEGO Engineering

 

• Circuitry and Robotics (PreK-8th)

This workshops acts as an introduction to robotics and coding for our young students. For older students we take a deeper dive in more complex robotics concepts and circuitry investigations.

• • NGSS Alignment Circuitry and Robotics

 

• Chain Reaction Machines (PreK-12th)

This classic STEM workshop combines engineering and design skills to challenge students to build a Chain Reaction Machine. Students are tasked with designing a series of chain reactions in order to move their marble or ball from one point to another. A great launching or culminating activity for a unit on forces. 

• • NGSS Alignment Chain Reaction Machines

 

• STEM Challenge Stations (PreK-12th)
  

 In this engaging workshop students will rotate through up to 5 different engineering challenges each encouraging critical thinking, teamwork, and of course fun!

• • NGSS Alignment STEM Challenges Mission Possible

 

• Owl Pellet Dissections (3rd-12th)

In this workshop students dissect owl pellets, and practice identifying species. This activity is an excellent introduction to dissections and an introduction to concepts of taxonomy. This activity includes additional extension activities to further explore the owl pellet dissection
