Building & Learning Around Science & Technology
3rd/4th grade
B.L.A.S.T. was adapted from Project ARIES, developed by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Students learn how astronauts live and work in space, as well as conduct experiments as scientists. By using a hands-on, inquiry based approach, students scaffold new learning upon prior knowledge, pose questions, and build structures to observe, test, and explore scientific concepts. During the 3.5 hour program students will explore:
- Speed & Motion
- Electricity & Circuitry
- Robotics
