Level-up reading labs are a different twist on all ages of reading. This lab groups students of all ages together to work on a story. We will not simply read a book for practice but work on the book. We read and discuss the topic so that students can start to understand reading retention is as important as reading itself. 

​Having older students work with younger students give them a chance to be a leader in a subject they need to build confidence in. Over time, they have the opportunity to gain confidence in their skills, become a mentor, and learn to lead. 

​Younger students get someone to look up to while getting the practice they need to succeed. In the last 20 minutes of the class, the instructor will read to the students helping them with the last component, loving a good story.

Seeing is believing. That is why this program will allow pre-K to elementary school-aged children to experiment hands-on with magnifying lens and microscopes so that they can explore the unseen microscopic world of cells and tissues. The program will introduce young children to fun (but powerful) technologies that can reveal the tiny parts that make up us and our surroundings. Children will get to look at prepared microscope slides of animal, insect, fungi, and plant cells/tissues. They can also prepare their own samples of plants, soil, and sand for microscopic viewing. There will also be coloring print-outs and fun sticker handouts for the children.

Help your children experience the joys of scientific exploration through a ramp and roll activity you can recreate at home!

Playing with ramps and things that roll helps children learn simple principles of physical science and engineering. A ramp is an example of a simple machine called an inclined plane.

“Work” has a specific meaning in physics involving the transfer of energy to an object and making it move. We don’t expect young children to know this. When we say that “simple machines make work easier,” we are using an accurate but young-child-friendly description of what simple machines do and how they help people.

The STEAM Plays is an original musical theater piece that toured elementary schools and was performed at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams on the MSU campus in the fall of 2024. Since then, the playwright and designer, members of MSU's faculty, have created a free-access website for students and teachers to perform the play or parts of it on their own. The website includes a corresponding curriculum that helps teachers guide students in integrating the arts into STEM. Join us for an interactive session of performing, playing, and learning!

The French landing of 1604 at what is today called Saint Croix Island marked the beginning of a continuous French presence in North America. This had lasting international impact on the North American continent and on the Passamaquoddy, the first inhabitants of the land. As the site transitioned from homeland, to colonial outpost, to part of the burgeoning United States, the landscape was dramatically changed. The site was home to a rich industrial history of logging, shipping, rock quarrying, and a plaster mill.

Join us as we discuss the lasting impact of this site on the United States, Canada, French/Acadians, and Passamaquoddy, and what it means to be an International Historic Site.

Level-up reading labs are a different twist on all ages of reading. This lab groups students of all ages together to work on a story. We will not simply read a book for practice but work on the book. We read and discuss the topic so that students can start to understand reading retention is as important as reading itself. 

​Having older students work with younger students give them a chance to be a leader in a subject they need to build confidence in. Over time, they have the opportunity to gain confidence in their skills, become a mentor, and learn to lead. 

​Younger students get someone to look up to while getting the practice they need to succeed. In the last 20 minutes of the class, the instructor will read to the students helping them with the last component, loving a good story.
