In Dolvin's Upper School Academy Science Laboratory, students in Grades 3-5 gain valuable skills to prepare them for middle school and beyond. While identifying unknown powders, examining cells through a microscope or figuring out what an owl had for dinner, students learn to use the scientific method to solve mysteries and discover new worlds.
LESSON PLANNING: All labs are pre-planned by the teachers and EE coordinators. No need to create lesson plans or purchase supplies - it's all done for you!
SCHEDULING: Labs are scheduled by the teachers to coordinate with the science curriculum. The Grade Level Coordinators will send an email to alert the volunteers when a lab has been scheduled.
TRAINING: Once a lab has been scheduled, your teacher or Grade Level Coordinator will host a Lab Demo to demonstrate and explain the activities prior to the lab day for your class. Some labs will not require a Demo if the volunteers are only assisting the teacher who is leading the lab.
