Homewood Science Center

Homewood Science Center, located outside Chicago, will modify two prototype STEM museum-based activity kits that it developed for local schools to supplement learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The new kits will include teacher guides, instructional videos, student worksheets, and materials for completing Next Generation Science Standards-supported activities. The center also will update its current field trip presentation and activities, allowing students recovering from a year of disrupted schooling resulting from the pandemic to participate in Homewood Science Center programming in classrooms or afterschool settings. The center will measure outcomes via the Dimensions of Success survey, developed with support from the National Science Foundation by the Program in Education Afterschool and Resiliency.
