Program Description:

Science In Motion (SIM) supports middle and high schools by providing:
  • mobile educators (traveling teachers) to the schools with multiple sets of equipment and supplies needed to give every student a hands-on experience;
  • equipment and materials to teachers independent of the mobile educators to allow greater access to advanced laboratory equipment and resources;
  • professional development opportunities for teachers to keep high-school/middle courses up to date with the latest discoveries in science.

SIM
SIM was founded at Juniata College in 1987. Since then, SIM has expanded to 11 other colleges and universities in Pennsylvania serving over 200 school districts.

All of this is at no cost to teachers, thanks to our support from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and businesses such as GlaxoSmithKline, Kish Bank, PNC Bank, Lititz Mutual, the National Science Foundation, the Pennsylvania Department of Education, and D C Goodman & Sons Inc.
