WHAT IS THE LEONARDO ON WHEELS —SCIENCE ?

The Leonardo on Wheels-Science is a traveling science center designed to help students learn, and help teachers teach. All activities support Utah State Office of Education Math and Science Core Curriculum Standards for intermediate school students (grades 7 - 9). A visit from the outreach program is a far more substantive experience than the typical school assembly demonstration.

The Science component of The Leonardo on Wheels-Science program will assist Utah's teachers and students in developing and expanding their skills, and learning the core objectives defined by the Utah State Office of Education.

Although The Leonardo on Wheels—Science and the Utah Science Center emphasize science and technology, they are also very committed to integrating art and science. This commitment to integration is illustrated via a Leonardo Notebook activity, which every student who participates in the outreach program completes. The Notebook activity involves sketching, drawing and note taking, which facilitates observation and formulation of questions and hypotheses. Art facilitating science!
