The whole family can join in from preschool to grandparents and explore scientific concepts introduced by the science center exhibits or to complement a special presentation. G.WIZ's most successful program is its Field Trip program. This program continues throughout the year and participants range from preschool age through adults. Groups are scheduled from Sarasota County as well as the surrounding counties and include public and private schools, social service agencies, and community organizations. The majority of field trip participants are K-8 students.
Participants receive the dedicated attention of staff and volunteers.
Staff provides a 25 minute chemistry show and a 10 minute static electricity show. At the request of elementary teachers, a Teacher Handbook describing G.WIZ exhibits has been made available. Groups can also schedule lunch at the outdoor picnic tables and visit the playground adjacent to the picnic area. In response to the needs of local teachers and home-school groups, G.WIZ offers programs to complement Sunshine State Standards. These 30 minute interactive programs are linked to the science curriculum guidelines, and provide students with an enhanced learning experience in addition to their time in the exhibit gallery.
