Serving All Northern New Jersey and Rockland County Elementary Schools
High Touch High Tech:
Science Education In A FUN Way Through Hands-on Exploration!
High Touch High Tech delivers 90 minute, in-school science fieldtrips that transform your classroom into a Living Laboratory! Kids become a scientist and learn by doing the actual experiments. These programs are totally hands-on and totally participatory by each child.
And because our programs are centered on the individual child's experience, many programs can be adapted, upon request, to meet the needs of other grade levels as well.
Our experiments are structured to use materials that are safe and easy to identify. Students can duplicate many of these experiments at home with their parents.
The programs listed below are geared for the Kindergarten through Second Grade child, but may be adapted for grades third through fifth.
