All you have to do is tell us how many kids you want to bring and choose a content area. Choose THE WORLD WE CREATE (physical science), which includes a 20-minute demonstration in the Chemistry Kitchen, or THE WORLD WITHIN US (life and health science), which includes a 20-minute demonstration in the BioLab or a 50-minute hands-on lab experience in the BioLab (time permintting). To have us plan your trip, call our School Services Coordinator at (502) 560-7146 or (800) 591-2203, ext. 6143.
