Through this 8-week outreach program, the Discovery Center creates a long-lasting energy and excitement for science and helps prepare students for achievement testing.
We have an 8 week program specifically for 5th grade available. This program was developed in cooperation with Hickory Hills Middle School, who piloted the new 5th grade science MAP test. Topics are Ecology, Weather, Astronomy, Energy, Electricity,and Simple Machines.
