Outside lab
All of these concepts are investigated using hands-on learning lab
experiments. This gives students an opportunity to hone their
scientific measurement skills (using scientific tools like triple
beam balances, meter sticks, pipettes, graduated cylinders,
protractors, etc…) prior to entering high school.
Expo
Students also had an opportunity to investigate careers within the
field of STEM by attending the Manufacturing EXPO in Peoria back in
October.
