Mobile Science Labs
A trip on the mobile science lab allows students to work like real scientists! Working in teams, the students investigate problems using the scientific method and a variety of scientific equipment. Students hypothesize, experiment, collect data and draw conclusions during hands-on activities that related to everyday life.

How Does the Mobile Science Lab Work?
The Mobile Labs are scheduled at a school for a one-week session. Hands-on investigations are conducted around a particular theme: Ag Products, Aquatics or Food, Fiber and You. Five to six sessions can be conducted per day. During the remaining block of time, other classes may visit the lab and complete mini-lessons. Scheduling is flexible and is determined by the individual school needs and size.
Schools select investigations that can be integrated into their curriculum. Activity schedules are tailored to meet individual school needs. Lab investigations match the Maryland State Curriculum. Resource materials are available for teachers to use in their classrooms to supplement, integrate and extend lab lessons.
