The Science Council sponsors after school science classes and the biannual
Science Fair. They are dedicated to hands-on science in the classrooms.
This year the science Council is pleased to bring the Pacific Science
Center's program "Science on Wheels" to the students of Olympic
View.
"This program
delivers exciting, interactive science curriculum to schools in every
county of Washington State. Science On Wheels offers one hour and forty-five
minutes of student contact, making it the most extensive school outreach
program in the country. A typical van visit to a school includes: a lively,
30-minute opening assembly, thirty interactive exhibits set up in the
library or gym, and 5 to 15 individual classroom visits by Pacific Science
Center teachers. Currently, Science On Wheels offers six subject areas
designed for kindergarten through eighth grade students." [Pacific
