Scientists In Action

Grades 4-8 - Connecting Students with Scientists

Want to take your students on an amazing field trip? Scientists in Action connects students directly with scientists during a live broadcast from field sites or research labs. During these conversations, scientists demonstrate research techniques, share new discoveries, and demystify the scientific process. This educational telepresence creates a "being there" experience and opens a window into science careers. Students interact with and look over the shoulders of scientists who are conducting exciting, real-world research.
  • A previsit video is provided that highlights the scientist's work, familiarizing students with the content.
  • After the broadcast, students can see collections or participate in a related activity and possibly meet the scientist face-to-face for informal discussion.

Sessions are held at 11 a.m. unless otherwise noted.
$6/student, 1 free adult/10 students, $6/additional adult.
