BRING
SCIENCE TO LIFE!
A SCHMAHL
SCIENCE WORKSHOP
PRESENTS SCIENCE EXPLORATIONS
Do your kids think science is
boring or too hard? Do they like to take things apart or
put things together?
Do they like to ask questions,
investigate and try to find answers?
Check out a sampling of some of our workshop classes:
Programs we
offer
Because we offer over 400 workshops
in all fields of science and technology including biology,
chemistry, earth science, forensic science, mathematics and physics,
students explore an unusually diverse range of topics. They learn to
culture and experiment with various cell types, analyze DNA, perform
forensic analyses of hair and cloth, build models of the solar
system, create wind powered cars, and take apart and reassemble
engines. Our workshops are delivered in classroom, laboratory or
garage settings by instructors who help students to discover that
learning science is fun.
A Schmahl Science Workshop caters our programs to students based on learning ability, not by age.
Classroom and
Afterschool Programs
These workshops provide a place where
children and parents can experience science and technology together.
Children learn in a setting that frees them to explore what interests
them.
Homeschool
Programs
These workshops are designed to support
home school students and are aligned with California's state academic
standards.
Advanced Student Research Program
Science fairs provide students with a
research experience. In our award winning program, advanced
undergraduate and graduate students mentor junior and senior high school
students.

SciVan and
BioMobileLab
SciVan delivers our
in-school and after-school workshops. BioMobileLab, a state-of-the-art
mobile science lab, brings advanced biology, biochemistry and
biotechnology experiments to schools. It also brings these workshops to
underserved communities where advanced science instruction is otherwise
not available.
Science Focus/STAR CST
Students in California are assessed in
science, language arts and mathematics. With a curriculum focused on
language arts and mathematics, many schools lack the resources and time
needed to teach the science concepts and investigational skills measured
on the STAR Science Test. We offer workshops that concentrate on these
tests. The workshops also help teachers to integrate the concepts and
skills measured in California's Science, Integrated Mathematics and
English-Language Arts Standards Tests.

Teacher Feedback about SSW programs:
From Barbara Wylie at Robertson Intermediate:
"The Water Rockets activity was awesome! The kids had more fun than
any other time that I can remember. When they did a follow-up
written assignment, many of them said the only thing they'd change is
to have more time (and less wind as it was a very windy day)."
From Anne Wright at Woodside Elementary:
"The kids all had a wonderful time – mine have not stopped talking about their marble rollercoasters since yesterday!"
From Maureen Patton at Los Arboles Elementary:
"The classes are full with very few absences. The use of science
notebooks is enhancing their learning. They are already looking back at
pages and comparing. It's going great!"
"I really enjoyed todays lesson. I may even use a form of it in
language arts. The kids didn't want to leave."
Parent Feedback about SSW programs:
"My daughter has had a wonderful time at these classes; thank you
so
much for offering them.
We've found that you cover experiments that we *meant* to get to,
but
never did for lack of preparation, or organization. That's where I
REALLY REALLY see the value in your program(s). Physical
science is where we said, "we are DEFINITELY coming back." ;-) "
Thanks,
K.P.
