Students' critical thinking skills have declined since the pandemic. The goal of this project is to get kids' hands back on exploring science concepts and critically thinking about the world around them. Students will utilize the density blocks, density cubes, electronic scales, and triple beam balance to investigate density and critically think about how the concept of density affects science all around them. Students compete against other students to create viable ecosystems. And finally, students will explore space concepts with the use of a simple flashlight.
Half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
