Virtual Science Lab

Lessons tailored to grades 4-8

Learn online! With our Virtual Science Lab, students in grades 4-8 can  explore a different subject every month. Our standards-based lessons  include four weeks of programming. During week one, a prerecorded video  lesson and a brief Science Snap will be sent via email. The video  focuses on introducing the topic for that month and provides a hands-on  activity to complete at home, and the Science Snap is an additional  brief 6-8 minute video lesson. In week two, we'll send out the second  Science Snap, a subject-based experiment to carry out at home. During  week three, we'll email a Science Snap that dives into exploring  different career fields related to the subject; the final week, our  Science Snap will allow an expert in one of these career fields to  answer questions related to their job and the science behind it.

​

During  weeks 1-3, we welcome students to send in any and all questions they  have about the subject, experiments, and what they'd like to know from  our expert. We'll provide an email address to send questions to with  your first week's materials.

​Cost per subject/month: $45 members / $50 nonmembers

Access to Virtual Science Lab can be purchased each month via our events page, by phone at 850-664-1261, or in person at the museum.
