ICE Cost:

We try to keep the costs of these presentations as minimal as possible as we consider them part of our service to the community. We ask only that the school or PTA help us cover the costs of running the presentation. We charge $175/classroom of up to 30 students. Let us know what your financial constraints are and we will make every effort to work within your budget.

Total Time: 1 hour

• Introduction (10 Minutes) We introduce who we are, lead a fun classroom warm up, followed by a classroom discussion about the topic we will be covering with the experiment. Generally this involves lots of question asking and encourages students to use their imaginations
• Experiment (40 Minutes) Edventure More staff lead students through an experiment or activity, encouraging question-asking and discussion throughout the process. Students are generally asked to hypothesize what they believe might happen and then compare their findings with the ultimate result.
• Wrap Up (10 Minutes) Students review key points about the topic and are encouraged to come up with more real world applications of what they learned. Every student takes home a “Give me MORE!” sheet that summarizes the day’s activities and list resources where they can learn more about the topic.
