Science-in-a-Backpack
The Science-in-a-Backpack program offers individuals or families and other interested small groups (4-6 people max) the opportunity to learn basic field techniques with ready-made supplies and activities.
Each backpack includes directions and all the equipment you need. You don’t need any prior experience to use the packs. And all packs are available to use free of charge.
