TSP: Classroom Programs
Students create and experiment with gooey, slippery, squishy slime.
Let The Maryland Science Center Come to you!
TSP Classroom Programs feature hands-on, minds-on science fun. We have eight programs specially designed for your classroom or science lab. Whether they are building a structure from toothpicks and marshmallows or examining their own fingerprints, students will have lots of fun while learning important science principles first-hand. Groups are limited to 30 students for maximum interaction.
| Names | Grades | Capacity | Description |
