Lawrence Hall of Science (LHS) is a dynamic center for teacher education, research, and curriculum development in preK–12 science and math education.
LHS helps students reach and exceed national standards and benchmarks for science and math education. Professional development programs for teachers and administrators feature:
- scientific investigations and mathematical problems that build critical thinking skills.
- interactive curricula on key topics.
- activities that enable all educators—regardless of background or training—to successfully bring activity-based, inquiry-driven learning to students.
LHS emphasizes ongoing professional development that supports long-term instructional improvements at our partner schools.
Every year more than 22,000 teachers participate in LHS professional development programs.
Instructional materials developed at LHS:
- are in use in all 50 states.
- are in use in over 20% of the country's elementary schools.
- have been translated into 27 languages.
LHS school programs, on-site and through the Hall's extensive outreach efforts, bring workshops, assemblies, festivals, and classes to more than 350,000 students annually, in California and beyond.
