About This Program
We have natural resource samples, solar demonstrations, energy meters, and more! This program aligns with the new program of studies and is best suited for Grade 5 & 6. We will customize stations based on the grade level of your students to ensure curriculum connections!
What to Expect
The Expo can accommodate multiple classes ranging from Grades 5-6 throughout one day. Ideally, we can set up in a spacious common area (i.e. gym, library, Learning Commons, etc.) and have each class come by for 60 minutes, depending on your bell schedule and group size. An Inside Education facilitator will set up the Expo and lead an engaging introduction, and groups of 3-4 students will circulate between the Expo stations. Each station features inquiry questions, hands-on components, and critical thinking!
Curriculum Connections
