Summer Science

Science experiments are a great way to learn while having fun. With topics ranging from biology and chemistry to geology and astronomy, there are plenty of ways to keep learning with your students. In addition to doing many of the projects as a family, your local zoo, science museum, parks and recreation department, universities, and amateur groups offer many free programs and events.
