What does DNA have to do with the taste of broccoli? How do roller coasters make our stomachs drop? Can you find a solution to water pollution? Students can explore these and other questions as they roll up their sleeves in The Tech Interactive's hands-on Science Labs.
These interactive, facilitated sessions offer deeper learning experiences that reinforce scientific concepts and help students develop 21st-century skills. Participants will use the design process to brainstorm, design, build, test and redesign their way to creative solutions to real-world science and engineering challenges.
Each of our labs supports Next Generation Science Standards and are complemented by related gallery exhibits and pre- and post-lab activities.
Information on each of our nine labs – including supporting activities and educator guides – is provided below. School year science labs are available September 20, 2022, through June 9, 2023. Minimum of 12 students required to reserve a lab. For information on our virtual programs, click here.
Summer Science Labs
Based on our successful school-year labs, our summer lab programs offer hands-on, engaging experiences for summer camps, out-of-school-time programs, and schools. These labs are only 60 minutes in length and enhance any summer program’s field trip excursion. Summer science labs are available Tuesday through Friday from June 20 - July 28, 2023. Minimum of 12 students to reserve a lab.
