Program Information
The Howard B. Owens Science Center offers a variety of exciting, hands-on science programs for students in Pre-K through high school. The programs support and enrich the county and state curriculum with an emphasis on science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Students gaze at the night sky during the day in our 170 seat planetarium as they look for things like shapes in the sky and far off galaxies. They observe live animals, the big and the small, including those cold-blooded creatures that are part of our reptile center. Things zap, sizzle and zing in the labs as we explore the fascinating world of physics and chemistry in our labs. A special Advance Placement Lab component is available for teachers that have to complete required labs for testing. A complete listing of the programs, along with grade level and a brief description are available. Be sure to read the PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS and sign up quickly. Spaces fill up fast based due to the high volume of requests and the availability of buses. RESERVE 2011-2012 FIELD TRIPS
