Hypothesis:
Children will benefit from additional hands-on science instruction!
Background Info
According to a survey of the National Science Foundation the average elementary age student has the opportunity to participate in 2.5 lab experiences a year! That’s one every 3 to 4 months. With impending testing in the field of science, these numbers put our kids at a big disadvantage!
Experiment
Through the Sparks Foundation, Science Explorers reaches out to area businesses and community members for support to conduct innovative, hands-on, interactive science projects through after-school programs, family science nights, science summer camps and school wide assemblies.
Record Data
Kids actually have fun with science and retain the information they learn! All Science Explorers curriculum is based on both state and national science standards. Kids learn the information they’ll be tested on and understand what they are learning which means better test scores and higher self esteem! Research shows that students retain up to 90% more of the information they are presented with when they engage on hands-on activities.
Help kids spark their imaginations and develop their natural curiosity as they explore the world we live in by providing an opportunity for a strong foundation in science and lifelong learning!
Conclusion
Your support of our innovative science programs impacts not only the students who participate but also the teachers, schools and the community we live in!
Present Findings
We’ll keep you posted!
Thank you for your help and support of quality programming and
education for our children!
Sincerely,
Jennifer L. Moorehead
