Bring the excitement of a museum visit to your students with a hands-on, video-enhanced STEM adventure!
Book Virtual - Materials sent to your school, and you teach the lesson!
Book In-Person - Science Mill team comes to you!**
A complete 60-minute program with all content delivered through an easy-to-navigate learning management system: press play and get ready to support lively discussions!
All the equipment* and materials* needed for a challenge-based, hands-on STEM activity- ready to go right out of the box- shipped directly to your classroom, library or community center.
Curated prompts to support students’ inquiry throughout the experience, along with full set up instructions.
Alternate set-up instructions to adapt the program for virtual learning settings.
Students race objects down a DIY marble run to explore forces that make things go (gravity) and slow (friction).
Students think like engineers to create custom zipline carriers, then observe forces, motion and speed to improve their designs.
Challenge teams to create coasters, the wilder the better! Drops, jumps and loops show potential and kinetic energy in action.
Teams design crazy coasters (2 loops, 1 jump minimum!) to test with riders—how will gravity and friction affect each trip?
Virtual: $10-$12 per student*
In-Person: $225 per class**
Students build an ecosystem, food chain by food chain, as they link hungry critters in this hands-on game.
Students become ecosystem sleuths to uncover connections among creatures and solve the mystery of what’s affecting the food web.
What’s wrong with this water? Students conduct chemical tests and gather data to trace the problem to its source.
Virtual: $10-$12 per student*
In-Person: $225 per class**
Students get up close with real bugs (embedded in clear blocks) and use critical thinking to turn observations into classifications.
Lab-quality microscopes give students a larger-than-life look at bug anatomy to spot similarities and differences that define insects.
Students take inspiration from nanotechnology and natural specimens to sketch a prototype for a problem-solving gadget.
Virtual: $10-$12 per student*
In-Person: $225 per class**
Package pricing is for 30 students. Orders need to be placed at least 21 days before the start date of your scheduled lab. Contact us at programs@sciencemill.org if you need a rush order or if you have fewer than 30 students.
*Virtual: instructors keep all materials and equipment. In-Person: equipment returns to the Science Mill with the staff
**In-Person Labs on the Go is limited to a 60-mile distance from the Science Mill. Locations further than 60 miles, up to 75 miles, will be charged an additional $25. In-Person Labs on the Go requires a 2-lab minimum order per location per date.
