The Next Generation Science Standards have more of a focus of doing science instead of memorizing science facts and vocabulary.  The lists below outline the science vocabulary covered in our programs.  Our staff aims to show the students real-world examples of these vocabulary words when used during our programs.  Some vocabulary lists include words for the teachers reference.  This is to help guide you on the topics that will be discussed during that program.
