Science With Depth Services
Science With Depth believes that the best way to help students see themselves as scientists is to empower their teachers first! The 2-hour hands-on PD sessions guide educators through a complete learning arc, moving seamlessly from science notebooks to arts integration, or can be customized to fit your school’s immediate priorities.
Why Schools Love Science With Depth PD:
Hands-On Experience: Teachers engage with actual science tools during training and keep the tools for future classroom use!
Space to Create: We give educators the gift of time to reconnect with their standards and design intentional pathways for student inquiry and expression.
Lasting Classroom Impact: When teachers experience the awe of science, they create environments where curiosity thrives.

Services
Interactive Science Notebooks & Journals
Go From Listing Facts To Constructing Arguments
CHALLENGE: Students view science as a list of established static facts rather than a dynamic process.
SOLUTION: Implement a system that provides students space for doing science and recording evidence based conclusions.
Creating Guiding Questions
Give Curiosity A Compass!
CHALLENGE: Students memorize disconnected facts without understanding how they all fit together.
SOLUTION: Create guided questions that provide a roadmap to explain big picture science concepts.
Using Science Tools
From Passive Observers To Active Participants
CHALLENGE: Students have little experience developing the skills of scientists.
SOLUTION: Use an easy-to-implement strategy for introducing any science tool to build confidence and deepen scientific inquiry.
Mastery Learning
One Phenomenon, Multiple Paths
CHALLENGE: Students expect teachers to show them what to learn, not how to learn.
SOLUTION: Provide multiple pathways for students to choose how to learn about science phenomena.
Arts Integration
Give Science Meaning Through Art
CHALLENGE: Students see art as decoration, not as a tool for interpreting science.
SOLUTION: Utilize the elements of art as a language for students to express and model scientific thoughts and ideas.
Pricing

Lighting Up The Depths
Teacher Field Experiences
Take your teacher PD on a field expedition!
Leading students through non-traditional, curiosity-led learning requires genuine teacher confidence. Lighting Up The Depths custom field experiences give educators hands-on practice with outdoor phenomena, tool use, field data, and experiment design, so they can bring immersive inquiry back to their own classrooms.
Outdoor Field Experience (Rock Hill, SC): Dive into farm-based inquiry at Greenwood Acres, conveniently located for both North and South Carolina educators, to build real-world confidence facilitating outdoor phenomena.
Indoor Museum Experience (Columbia, SC): Step into world-class exhibit spaces at the South Carolina State Museum to practice dynamic, cross-curricular 3D science learning using museum collections.
Bring Science With Depth To You: Have a local park, nature center, or museum near your school? I am happy to design a custom expedition at a site you secure!
Tailored to Your Team: Because every expedition is custom-designed around your district's specific goals, group size, and location needs, pricing is tailored per package. Reach out today via the Contact Page to build your custom experience and get a quick, line-item estimate!
