  10. In addition, each Title One school will receive a mobile, wireless, laptop computer lab for students to access the internet and the various fee-based databases provided through Baltimore County Public Schools.

  11. And finally…… aside from anchoring the microscope cabinets, the addition of these items will not require any permanent physical changes to classrooms being converted to labs.

  12. Milbrook students use the laptop computers to create graphs from the data acquisition equipment.

  13. Fifth grade students at Milbrook Elementary School work in their newly established science lab.

  14. Students at Logan Elementary enjoy science activities at their Grow Lab Mobile Indoor Garden.

  15. Exploring a whole new world at Glenmar

  16. Science Labs Encourage Teamwork!

  17. Science labs offer opportunities for authentic engagement!

  18. Elementary Science Lab Classrooms? WHY???

  19. Giving children opportunities to experience hands-on activities with sophisticated materials not only enables them to meet with success, but prepares them for the increased demands of future grades.

  20. Increasing the knowledge base and proficiency level of lab teachers… …helps children, empowering them to SOAR to new heights.

  21. Future Plans... • Monthly meetings of lab personnel (to be hosted by a different lab school each month) • Educational Opportunities and Networking • Professional Development for Lab Techs
