Come Explore The Black Hole Science Laboratory!

The Space Science Group has a long history of developing innovative programs that provide curricular tools and teaching resources to Louisiana schools and teachers.  In this vein, we have constructed a one-of-a-kind learning facility, the Black Hole Science Laboratory, which is available to Louisiana students, grades 5-8, for day-long field trips.

We put on a spectacular Mr. Wizard type science show along with hands-on student activities that offer engaging learning experiences in the areas of science and mathematics.  This innovative educational program allows students to personally experience the fun and wonder of learning, and, in this way, produces stronger, more focused students who better understand how academic achievement relates to the quality of their lives.

The laboratory is also used to conduct workshops that provide teachers with the training and resources they need to improve the quality of science and mathematics instruction in the classroom.  We furnish information on how to create an adequate teaching environment in schools (on a budget), and provides the curriculum and supplies needed to implement the demonstrated teaching applications.
