Introduction to Science

Introduction to Science is a lesson and hands-on exercise designed to teach a middle school class about our world, what it's made of and how it works. Although It is a chemistry-based lesson, it demonstrates the fundamental ties among the four basic sciences: math, chemistry, physics and biology.

This presentation is typically 45 to 60 minutes long and is performed at the requesting school by one or two Scripps Florida scientists. Curriculum is designed for students in grades five or six. Each Introduction to Science presentation can accommodate a single class of up to 30 students.
