Volunteer Job Description: Volunteers are needed to help our students explore the
Pacific Science Center’s Science On Wheels exhibit, located in the Library throughout
the day on Monday, March 13. This exhibit is used in conjunction with an all-school
assembly and individual classroom workshops to create an amazing day of science for
our Highland Park students! To make the day more enriching for students, we ask
exhibit volunteers to do the following:
When a class comes to the exhibit area, explain to them our three rules:
- Share (the exhibits and discoveries)
- Explore science
- Have fun!
You may challenge students’ imagination and creativity by asking questions such as:
- “Why do you think that…?”
- “What would happen if…?”
- “How do you know…?”
While students should be encouraged to figure out directions on their own, non-reading
students may need help interacting with some of the exhibits.
Monitor exhibits, and help re-set or restore exhibits when needed throughout the day.
Please note that we are exploring the wonders of the human body in this SOW visit, with the Blood & Guts program! Students will assemble skeletons, analyze x-rays, scrutinize skulls, tease their brains with optical illusions and look inside a real human brain. This exhibit includes real organs from both humans and animals.
