Their missions is “….to deliver innovative educational experiences that inspire new passions for science, promote better health for all students, and enhance science education throughout Washington state by working in partnership with teachers, schools and communities.” (http://seattlechildrens.org/adventurelab/) The lab is designed for students in grades 4-8 to get experience conducting experiments with real scientific instruments in a professional research environment. SAL serves schools all over the state of Washington at no cost.

  3. What do they teach? • The Science Adventure Lab (SAL) teach the following modules: • Elementary (grades 4-6) • Seeking the Sugar Solution: Chemistry/Nutrition (Basic - 60 min) • Catch Your Breath!
