 Snapshot Science Club options:
Program overview: Snapshot Science Club activities are fun, engaging, and aligned to the three dimensions of science learning in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). See Appendix-A attached below. Each activity engages participants by offering opportunities to play and also run experiments as a team of scientists. Modelling, observation, prediction, measurement, and data analyses skills are practiced. What do parents say about Snapshot Science Club? Check out the Why SSS? page.
