Hands on Science
The Hands on Science program consists of parent volunteers who guide a small group of students through science experiments that enhance classroom learning. You do not need any prior science knowledge to volunteer!
We provide all of the materials needed and have everything prepared for you in an easy to follow format. All you need to do is show up, assist the kids as they experiment, and have fun!

4th & 5th Grade - Robotics:
We will have about 8 different robots that are already assembled. We will place a robot at each table and divide the students into small groups. Every group will spend 7-8 minutes at each table and then move to the next table. The robots included in this experiment are: a reptile robot, a balance car, a bubble machine, a fiber lamp and a buzzer wire game kit. You will have a few guiding questions (with answers) to discuss. This will mostly be a time that the kids can learn about physics, engineering, and electronics, while also having fun! You will be stationed at one table to monitor and lead the students during their time with your assigned robot.
Kinder to 2nd Grade - Circuit boards:
Each table will have a circuit board for the small group of students to use together. The electronic experiment includes a circuit maze, spray module, RGB light module, flying saucer accessories, and more. Kids can learn the basics of electrical engineering in a safe and fun way. These are made with younger students in mind. It contains an instruction booklet to show you how to do every experiment. The science kit includes more than 14 circuits, providing students with multiple opportunities to build different projects. Kids will learn circuit knowledge such as parallel connection and series connection.
