Science Assets™ Outreach
Science Assets™ are the attitudes, knowledge, and skills that inspire a passion for science and prepare students for life after school – both in terms of job opportunities and civic engagement.  These Science Assets™ are related to confidence/identity, support, creative thinking skills, and science relevancy. 

On the first visit, students participate in activities to show that science is a fun and creative process in which all students can participate.  The second visit uses a hands-on, inquiry based lesson on batteries and circuits and presents Alessandro Volta, the inventor of the battery.  Finally, the third visit brings a volunteer “Person of Science” from the science or engineering community who will lead kids in a circuit-building activity and show how the skills that students have been working on in class are used by people in science careers today.

Electricity  – Customizable
The Bakken Museum can customize a 3-5 day residency on the theme of electricity for your students.  Combining elements from our Science Assets™ residency, outreach workshops and/or assembly programs, your students can experience static, current, and bio electricity over a number of visits for a fun, in-depth educational experience.  This program is intended for grades 4-6 and can accommodate up to four 60-minute classes each day.
