Partners – STEMventures
Let us bring the field trip to you! Science Explorers STEMventures are learning focused, support science standards and utilize research-based practices in order to provide elementary students with engaging and fun hands-on STEM experiences.
Why choose a STEMventure program?
- Save money on bussing – we come to you!
- Supplement your current science curriculum with hands-on, STEM-based lessons.
- Experiential learning can help students identify interest in STEM fields.
- We can customize a program that works for your needs, from a 1-hour program for one class, to a day-long program for the whole school.
- Choose from a variety of exciting topics below!
STEMventure Topics
Each STEMventure field trip topic includes a 60-minute hands-on lesson, and students take home everything they make.
SAVVY CIRCUITS: Determine what materials are conductors and insulators, then build a simple circuit to create your very own motorized invention.
MATTER MONSTERS: We’ll explore the states of matter as we mix up endothermic and exothermic chemical reactions and create a “monster” that goes through a major matter change right before your eyes.
ART WITH A SPIN: Build your own spin art machine! You’ll complete a circuit and demonstrate how energy is transformed to power your machine so you can create awesome art.
FOSSIL SAFARI: Become a paleontologist and travel back in time as you discover the amazing stories fossils can tell. Make your own cast fossil and identify marine fossils of animals that lived millions of years ago.
POLAR OPPOSITES: Conduct experiments to discover why oil & water don’t mix, but they do create a bubbling mini lava lamp with the help of a CO2 reaction.
BLAST OFF!: Explore Newton’s Third Law of Motion as you design, build and launch an air-powered rocket and a rocket that uses a chemical reaction to fly.
EVERYBODY’S WATER: Learn about freshwater ecosystems, take part in a hands-on activity to see how water gets polluted, then build a filter system to clean the water.
SLIME TIME: Slime is more than just fun to make – it teaches us some awesome science! We’ll cross-link our way through non-Newtonian fluids as we make both slime and chalkboard slime.
How It Works
1. Reach out! Call 610-816-5047 or email programs@ScienceExplorers.com
2. Choose your topic(s).
3. Schedule a day & time. (Plan at least 4-6 weeks in advance.)
4. On the scheduled date our instructors will show up to have some STEM fun with your students!
(Virtual options are available for schools that are far far away!)
Our Philosophy: If it’s not fun, we’re not doing it!
Whether it’s an after-school club, summer camp, assembly or other program, Science Explorers makes science cool and exciting through our interactive, hands-on format.
STEM-Based Learning
Science Explorers has been creating interactive, hands-on science programs for more than 25 years and counting. We know that STEM improves reading comprehension, math skills, and science foundations and engages higher-order thinking. Let us help bring more STEM to your students!
What EVERY Science Explorer Learns:
Science
Reinforced science foundations, cultivating curiosity.
Technology
Deepened critical thinking from recording data and technological innovation.
Reading
Increased reading comprehension from contextual vocabulary, visuals, and informational text.
Engineering
Building resilience through the Engineering Design Process.
Art
Empowerment from creative self-expression to communicate ideas.
Math
Understanding mathematical contexts that build confidence.
