In addition to touring the Exhibit Areas and visiting the Planetarium, your group may also choose to sign up for an Enrichment Lab. These 45-minute, hands-on classroom programs will enhance your students’ experience with interactive lessons led by a Eugene Science Center educator, designed for up to 20 students at a time. Larger groups may be split into 2 or more sections and rotated among other field trip options (Exhibit Areas, Planetarium).
$60 minimum cost for up to 20 students; $3 per additional student; some labs require additional fees
Labs are subject to instructor and classroom availability and may not be available on all days.
Choose your grade level to see which Enrichment Labs will work best for your students.
Balance Lab
Students examine toys that use center of gravity in surprising ways, leading to impossible-looking balancing acts and unexpected motion.
Bug Lab
Students will classify insects and other invertebrates into different families, then learn about specialized body parts and other adaptations that allow bugs to move, find food, and eat.

Nutrition Lab
Get a hands-on look at the vitamins, minerals, and energy contained in the foods we eat. Students will learn the importance of choosing the right foods in order to balance the calories we take in with the energy we exert.
Electron Lab
Join the electrons on a shocking journey! Explore static electricity versus current electricity using a Van de Graaff Generator, snap circuits, squishy circuits and more.
Animal Adaptations Lab
Meet some of the resident education animals at Eugene Science Center, like a bearded dragon, ball python, or tarantula – and learn about the adaptations that allow them to survive in their unique habitats. Explore hands-on activity stations related to life cycles, camouflage, taxonomy, and evolution.
