AfterSchool KidzScience

• Four physical science kits

Engaging Activities

Each kit includes instructions and materials for four sessions—each building upon each other, though they can also stand alone to accommodate flexible attendance. The sessions are engaging and easy to lead. They've been created to:

• Excite children about science
• Build science knowledge and inquiry abilities
• Help children learn important cooperation and teamwork skills

Leaders don’t need a background in science to lead the sessions effectively and only need minimal time for preparation and cleanup.

A Unique Partnership for After School

AfterSchool KidzScience was developed by The Lawrence Hall of Science, the same organization that brought you GEMS, in close collaboration with DSC. This unique partnership brings together the deep expertise in effective, inquiry-based science education from The Hall and the experience in developing and publishing after-school and in-school programs that promote children’s academic, ethical, and social development from DSC.
