Shoebox Science

Shoebox Science is a growing collection of hands-on science activities that can be experienced and enjoyed by students in the classroom. A basic core of activities in each science project can be modified to suit the needs of the teacher and the class; thus while all classes chosing, for example, the Color activities, will participate in general activities to learn about color, the activities will be more complex for gifted students and less complex for special needs classes.

The sessions include

  • Patterns
  • Color
  • Simple Machines
  • Gravity
  • Magnets
  • Polymers
  • Light
  • All About Air
  • Flight
