Science Workshops

Our FUN science workshops correspond with Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills Standards in Science (TEKS) and are great for all preschool through middle school ages!

Sample Workshops and Related TEKS

*Workshops not limited to themes below, please let us know if you would like to customize a workshop or have a specific theme in mind!

  • Workshop: Shine A Little Light

    TEKS:

    • S.K.8(A) communicate the idea that objects can only be seen when a light source is present and compare the effects of different amounts of light on the appearance of objects.

    • S.K.8(B) demonstrate and explain that light travels through some objects and is blocked by other objects, creating shadows

    Workshop: Worms & Erosion

    TEKS:

    • S.K.12(B) observe and identify the dependence of animals on air, water, food, space, and shelter.

  • Workshop: Newton’s Run

    TEKS:

    • S.1.7(B) plan and conduct a descriptive investigation that predicts how pushes and pulls can start, stop, or change the speed or direction of an object’s motion.

    Workshop: Heredity Bracelets

    TEKS:

    • S.1.13(C) compare ways that young animals resemble their parents.

  • Workshop: Silly Sound

    TEKS:

    • S.2.8(A) demonstrate and explain that sound is made by vibrating matter and that vibrations can be caused by a variety of means, including sound.

    Workshop: Plant a Seed

    TEKS:

    • S.2.13(A) identify the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds of plants and compare how those structures help different plants meet their basic needs for survival.

  • Workshop: Center of Gravity

    TEKS:

    • S.3.7(A)* demonstrate and describe forces acting on an object in contact or at a distance, including magnetism, gravity, and pushes and pulls.

    Workshop: Fossil Dig

    TEKS:

    • S.3.12(D)*identify fossils as evidence of past living organisms and environments, including common Texas fossils.

  • Workshop: Owl Pellets

    TEKS:

    • S.4.12(B)* describe the cycling of matter and flow of energy through food webs, including the roles of the Sun, producers, consumers, and decomposers.

    Workshop: Potential & Kinetic Energy

    TEKS:

    • S.4.8(A) investigate and identify the transfer of energy by objects in motion, waves in water, and sound.

  • Workshop: Eruptions

    TEKS:

    • S.5.6(B) demonstrate and explain that some mixtures maintain physical properties of their substances such as iron filings and sand or sand and water.

    • S.5.6(C) compare the properties of substances before and after they are combined into a solution and demonstrate that matter is conserved in solutions.

    Workshop: Energy Conversion

    TEKS:

    • S.5.8(B) demonstrate that electrical energy in complete circuits can be transformed into motion, light, sound, or thermal energy and identify the requirements for a functioning electrical circuit

    • S.4.8(A) investigate and identify the transfer of energy by objects in motion, waves in water, and sound.

School Programs

  • Three students at a table working on a science project with a bowl connected to a multimeter. A girl with braids is on the left, wearing a navy shirt with yellow hair clips. A boy with black hair and glasses is in the middle, writing or drawing on paper. Another student, a girl with messy hair, is on the right, looking down at the project.

    Rotating Sessions

    Classrooms rotate through the program in 45 minute sessions customized to your wants and learning needs with materials for your whole class.

  • An adult male teacher wearing a white lab coat stands in front of a classroom of young students seated on the floor. The classroom is decorated with posters, flags, and educational materials. Students are wearing festive clothing, some with holiday accessories, and appear engaged in the lesson.

    School Options

    Schedule in-school field trips for your classroom, grade-level, or entire school!

  • Two children, a girl with braided hair and a boy with glasses, are looking at a tray of water with floating glass marbles, engaging in a science or craft activity.

    Hands on

    Our workshops are hands-on and engaging, using tactile and kinesthetic learning.
