Science Explorers Quest (Jr)
About the Event
"Activity before Concept, Concept before Vocabulary". That is how one should learn science. Selected 25 experiments/activities from the middle school physics, chemistry and biology to help students learn science through experiments. These experiments will help them learn concepts better and forever. Let’s move children away from rote learning. Experience First, Learn Forever!
