St. Mary’s Belen & Annunciation Catholic Schools Implement New Science Program

LabLearner provides hands-on techniques that engage children and increase their enthusiasm for the sciences. These Lablearner programs are the first of its kind in New Mexico. Both schools have taken on the goal of incorporating STREAM (science, technology, religion, engineering, art and math) to encourage more students to take higher-level science and math classes in high school and eventually think of STREAM careers at the college level.
 
PreK–8 ^th grade students will participate in weekly laboratory experiments with daily classroom investigations conducted by the classroom teacher.  The program offers laboratory set up, curriculum integration and teacher training as part of the process of making science classes meaningful and enjoyable. All the equipment is research grade, which is designed to introduce the students to university level concepts and skills, which can be built upon through high school.  LabLearner installs all furniture, science equipment and storage necessary to run the lab.  The program insures that all teachers have everything they need to teach with hundreds of supplies, materials and equipment selected for quality and application to the curriculum.  The entire curriculum is supplied to teachers in PreK through 8th grade, supporting immersion in a seamless process of learning science aligned with the next generation science standards.
