Hands-on Science Activities in our Local Schools
We are working with K-12 schools in our local community to bring science experiments into the classroom. Following these hands-on activities, we provide opportunities for follow-up conversations and mentorship. If you are interested in connecting with us or want to adopt some our materials for your classroom, please contact Prof. Knope.

“Interaction of Light with Matter”,
“Natural Resources: Let’s Talk Uranium”
