Science Curriculum for After School Programs

LHS has created a series of after school products that engage students in compelling activities that explore fundamental science concepts. Developed by LHS’s GEMS program and published by Developmental Studies Center (DSC), the AfterSchool KidzScience series includes kits developed for use in an after school setting and provides everything needed for easy implementation, from simple presentation instructions to a complete set of materials.
