Welcome to SciTrek
SciTrek is dedicated to allowing 2nd - 12th grade students to experience the scientific process first hand. SciTrek seeks to partner with local schools to present inquiry based modules that not only emphasize the process of science but also a specific grade level Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) Performance Expectation (PE).
Each module allows students to design and carry out an experiment. Providing students with the opportunity to not only learn scientific facts but also experience scientific practices allows students to understand how scientists use evidence based explanations to explain the world around them.
In addition to providing programming for students, SciTrek strives to demonstrate the importance of three-dimensional based teaching to teachers, practicing teachers, and teachers in training.
Middle School Teachers!

We are offering four Modules in the 2024-5 school year, raging in topics from cellular respiration to the physics of waves, and more.
