Reaction Time is our hands-on science outreach program that brings innovative instruction in chemistry to fifth-grade classrooms across Utah. The Reaction Time program covers Standard I of the fifth-grade science core—matter, physical changes, and chemical reactions.
Program Overview
Reaction Time includes a 50-minute assembly with the entire fifth-grade, which is followed by a 25-minute hands-on lab experience with each individual class. During the lab, students design and perform chemistry experiments under the direction of a Discovery Gateway science outreach instructor. Discovery Gateway also provides teachers with preparatory packets, follow-up materials, and science equipment to continue scientific learning in the classroom.
Reaction Time will be offered to every school district in the State of Utah over a three-year period. Based on a pre-set rotation, most schools receive a sponsored (free) program approximately every other year. Schools not on the 2009-2010 list for sponsorship may purchase the program for a fee of $275*.
Reaction Time is funded by the Utah State Office of Education and is part of its Isee Program.
*Fees may be applied to schools within 100 miles of Discovery Gateway and for schools with up to five fifth-grade classes.
