Learning Labs
Led by a Griffin Museum of Science and Industry educator, Learning Labs connect with classroom curricula and are designed to promote practical, applicable, and accessible knowledge of science and engineering principles; an awareness of everyday science phenomena in students’ lives; and insight into STE(A)M career pathways. These facilitated, focused, hands-on learning experiences are aligned to Skyline scope and sequence and designed to Next Generation Science Standards and Common Core Literacy Standards. We can accommodate most students with special needs such as learning ability, language or physical ability.
Mobile Learning Labs
Let the Museum come to you! We are proud to bring hands-on, standards-based science programs right to your school, library or community center. Museum educators will bring the materials and facilitate a 45-60 minute learning lab in your space for up to 35 learners.
