Activities and demonstrations are geared towards the predetermined topics. Yes, the science content is correlated to national standards and the standards of each state. We explore the curriculum guides and match our content to the standards. Our presentations cover all aspects of science, and we are currently expanding our Life Science demonstrations. The content of the demonstrations is age specific.
All sessions involve demonstrations, but activities vary depending on the age group.
Young children have less manual dexterity and attention spans than older children so we tailor our demonstrations to the specific needs of each group. We've starting instituting AboutUs sponsored educational programs. Companies attach their name to our program and we educate students on specific science issues. One of the corporations that sponsored our program was a sunscreen company. The purpose is to involve corporations in our efforts to promote science interest and understanding in students.
