The Pacific Science center will visit Parkview during the school day for a live science show for the entire school, 40-minute programs for individual classrooms, and a pop-up exhibit experience that brings the hands-on learning of the Science Center to your students.

Whole-School Assembly: Physiology is fascinating! Delve into the human body: examine the skeletal system, plot the path of a red blood cell through the circulatory system, and mull over how messages travel through the nervous system.

Interactive Pop-Up Exhibits: Circulate among exhibits that cover an amazing body of knowledge: biology! How steady is your balance? Where is your ulna? Assemble skeletons, analyze x-rays, and scrutinize skulls. Tease your mind with optical illusions and then look inside a real human brain! This exhibit includes real organs from both humans and animals.

Classroom Programs:

• Grades K-2: Creature Features, You’ve Got Nerve

• Grades 3-8: Piece of Mind, Visual Eyes

Elie Peterson will visit Parkview during the school day for school wide sessions filled with reading, science, and art!

Ellie Peterson is the author and illustrator of multiple picture books, including HOW TO HUG A PUFFERFISH and SCHOOL IS WHEREVER I AM. Her work is inspired by 20 years as a classroom teacher and her experience growing up as a biracial army brat. When she's not in the classroom, you can find her making art in her backyard studio or exploring the beautiful Pacific Northwest, where she lives.
