DESTINATIONS

School

In the Telecommunications Laboratory at MOST, students will learn all about Morse code, telegraphs, and radio. Students can also watch a nature documentary in the IMAX Omnitheater or book a special show in the Silverman Planetarium, where the universe comes alive! Students will love the Harry Potter Potions Class workshop, which involves bezoars, dragon spit, rat’s claws and other supplies. Demonstrations on nanoscale science, sound, bubbles, liquid nitrogen, and other topics can be added to your visit for an additional fee.

STEM Lesson Plan

FUN FACTS

Throughout history American innovations have greatly impacted the country and the world. The light bulb, the assembly line, the refrigerator, flight, and the personal computer are all inventions by American innovators. For America to continue to lead the world in innovation, students must be trained, educated, and fluent in the foundation of innovation – science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. These essential subjects can be found and applied to a plethora of class trip destinations. Consider the science that makes possible the activities you partake in and the places you visit.
