Forensics Science Lab
Is there a budding forensic scientist in your household?

Join the inquiring minds gathering in the GEHC lab as they learn how to process crime scenes, analyze lab data, and conduct scientific investigations all for the purpose of answering, “Who did it?”

Not Just Another Science Class…
Join the GEHC staff as we embark on a new approach to learning more about environmental science. “How”, you might ask? By presenting scientific themes in a clever format such that students recognize the relationships between science, technology, math, engineering, art, and writing. During our-five-week adventure, students will explore one theme each week: Soils, Water, Wildlife, Decomposers, and Cycles. To gain a comprehensive understanding about a topic, participants will follow a rotation cycle each hour among our educators to work on tasks that focus on STEAM skills. STEAM is a cross-curricular approach exploring a specific topic from a science, technology, engineering, arts, and math perspective all in a one 3.5 hour session. Bring a snack and bottled water to enjoy during a scheduled break time. Homework may be assigned to students in preparation for the upcoming weekly theme. This is an exciting way to explore science….join the fun!
