Science To Go Programs

Let Us Come To You

Have our education outreach staff deliver science programs directly to your school, library, community center, or other educational venue. These programs are also available as after-school programs.

Science To Go Programs

outreach programsOur workshops can also be delivered to your school as Science To Go programs. See below for topics. We also offer live science shows for assemblies. Visit our Science Shows page for more information. 


Schedule

Monday–Friday
All Science To Go programs are 1 hour in length; Supersized Science programs are 90 minutes in length.

Programs must be scheduled two weeks in advance and are based on availability. Due to the high volume of requests, we recommend calling at least a month in advance, with at least two date options in mind.

Weekend programs available with advance notice. Daytime outreach programs are scheduled in 90-minute blocks to allow for set-up and breakdown times.


Request Your Visit

To request a Science To Go program please complete a request form which can be found on the side bar of this page. We offer options for programs at your school, at the Fleet, and virtually.  Alternatively, you can contact the School Reservations Coordinator at schoolreservations@rhfleet.org.

Choosing your Outreach Program

  • These programs must be scheduled at least two weeks in advance of the date you are requesting.
  • A mileage fee will be applied for schools located more than 30 miles round-trip from the Fleet Science Center.

Adventurous Architects

Grades K-4

Explore the science of physics, engineering and architecture. Students will plan, build and test structures as they participate in a variety of engineering challenges using ROK blocks.


Body Works

Grades 4-6

Explore the “ins and outs” of the body's many systems as they work together to help us do everything from basic everyday functions to some amazing feats! 


Chemistry Concepts

Grades 3-6

Take an intimate look at the indicators of a chemical change in this inquiry-based investigation of the properties of matter.


Electric Avenue

Grades 3-4

Use an inquiry-based approach to understand the relationship between electricity and magnetism. Shocking experiments illuminate this challenging subject.


Energy Explorers

Grades 3-7

What is energy? Students investigate several different forms of energy, including light, sound and electrical energy! 


Engineering by Design

Grades 3-6

Students will learn what it is like to be an engineer as they work together to plan, build and test solutions to a unique challenge. 


Fantastic Forces

Grades 2–5

This hands-on program introduces students to friction, forces, and the laws of motion. After experimenting with parachutes, students design and build roller coasters to investigate the fundamental laws of physics.


Forces in Action

Grades 6-8

Have fun with physics in this fast-paced workshop. Using roller coasters, parachutes, and pendulums, students explore motion, unbalanced forces, friction, velocity, and more.


Forensic Detectives

Grades 4-7

In this “mysterious” program, students use chemistry, geology, and physics to piece together evidence and crack the case. They learn how to classify mysterious powders, identify minerals, calculate the pH of soils, and perform chromatography to separate pigments.


Habitats

Grades K-3

Students sharpen their observation skills while exploring why animals live in different habitats. Students will investigate a terrarium, learn about adaptations and mimic the eating habits of different species of birds.


Insect Inspectors

Grades K–4

Why do some insects hop and others buzz? Explore amazing adaptations and learn about food chains in this program devoted to the incredible world of insects. A visit from a live insect ambassador is included!


Making Sense of It All

Grades Pre-K-2

Ugh! What’s that smell? Students will hear, see, smell, taste, and touch their way through this multi-sensory workshop.


Mars Quest

Grades 5-8

Students will work together to build a spacecraft to take them to Mars then complete several experiments to learn more about our neighboring Red Planet.


Physics Crash Test

Grades 4-9

Are your students up for the challenge? Give your students a unique myth-busting experience as they work together to design, build, and test their way through our design challenge of keeping an egg ‘passenger’ safe through a car crash test. Your students are sure to have a blast as physics principles and experimental design ‘collide’ in this workshop! 

Sensational Solar System

Grades 3–5

Learn fascinating information about our neighboring planets and discover why our solar system is so special with these out-of-this-world activities.


Solar Science

Grade 4-7

Explore the fundamentals of radiant energy. Students learn how the sun heats the Earth and then compete in a solar design challenge. A great complement to our exhibition “So WATT! An Illuminating Look at Energy.”


Sound Science

Grades K-3

Investigate the many ways of making sound and discover how it travels through different substances. Experiment with waves, explore vibrations, and make an imaginative musical instrument. *1 hour program for Kindergarten.


States of Matter

Grades K

Explore the wonderful states of matter as students discover how liquids turn into solids, solids into liquids, liquids into gas and even solids into gas! After the students explore the relationships between the states of matter, our educator will present an out-of-this-world demonstration!


Superhero Genetics

Grades 6–8

Genes play an important role in the makeup of all living things. In this humorous approach to genetics, students will use superheroes to discover the fundamental aspects of heredity, including alleles, dominance, phenotypes, genotypes, and mutations.


Weather Watchers

Grade K-3

Students take on the role of meteorologists to discover what makes the weather. They’ll explore why weather changes and then create instruments to measure it.
