Lab-Aids Science Seminars

Want to teach about watersheds and erosion but just thinking of setting up the big stream tables has you thinking about early retirement?

Want to teach about Newton’s Laws without having to stand on the shoulders of giants?

Need a little more energy to teach your energy unit?

Experiencing science is what LAB-AIDS® is all about. We believe that students learn science best by experiencing it firsthand, not just reading it in a book. For over 45 years, teachers have looked to us for new ways to connect with their students.

Lab-Aids Science Seminar

The LAB-AIDS INSTITUTE has developed the MIDDLE LEVEL SCIENCE SEMINARS that will provide you with some new tools and techniques for motivating and engaging your students. The seminars will focus on Forces and Energy and also Earth Science.

Each workshop provides support for developing core science content, and support for literacy, mathematics and technology. Workshop content is selected to support key state science standards. The workshops are designed for teachers in grades 5 - 8.

Our workshop leaders are accomplished classroom teachers, science supervisors, and college faculty. All are effective, experienced presenters.
