Consortium Information

Program Description:

Science In Motion (SIM) supports middle and high schools by providing:

mobile educators (traveling teachers) to the schools with multiple sets of equipment and supplies needed to give every student a hands-on experience;
equipment and materials to teachers independent of the mobile educators to allow greater access to advanced laboratory equipment and resources;
professional development opportunities for teachers to keep high-school/middle courses up to date with the latest discoveries in science.

All of this is at no cost to teachers, thanks to our support from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and businesses such as GlaxoSmithKline, Kish Bank, PNC Bank, Lititz Mutual, the National Science Foundation, the Pennsylvania Department of Education, and D C Goodman & Sons Inc.
