LITE Lab STEM Experiences

Eco-Life
Grades 4-10

Students will use math skills and provided materials to record data, predict outcomes and build solutions to eco-challenges throughout LITE Lab stations. From global climate to the water we drink or the fuel to heat our homes, students will investigate the impact of human behavior on the health of our environment and natural resources, socially and economically, on a local and global scale.

You are the Scientist!
Grades 4 to 10

Students assume the role of a chemist, physicist or biologist to experience the critical and analytical thinking skills needed to complete experiments in this fast-paced laboratory class. Due to sharp instruments and advanced technology, teachers and chaperones will assist with experiments as needed.

Fantastic Physics
Grades 4 to 12

Students create dancing non-Newtonian fluid, explore nanoscience applications and measure distance, energy and force when launching their table top trebuchets. This is only the beginning of hands-on activities and challenges students can experience in this physics laboratory.

Dead Sea Scrolls (available through April 30, 2013)
Grades 4 to 12
Students use a variety of techniques to learn about the Dead Sea Scrolls. From DNA analysis and bioinformatics, to radiometric dating, to traditional archaeology,  students will discover how we know what we know about the Dead Sea Scrolls.
