This is the second year that Eastgate PTA has partnered with the Pacific Science Center to offer Eastgate students the wonderful opportunity to see and feel science.
Pacific Science Center's Science On Wheels program brings exciting, hands-on science shows, exhibits, and workshops to schools and community events around the Northwest.
All Science On Wheels teachers have Bachelor's degrees, either in education or science, many are certified teachers or have a Master's degree in teaching.
The program itself is aligned with WA state science and math standards and has proven to be a wonderful addition to the supplemental program offerings provided by the Eastgate PTA.

Eastgate PTA is kicking off our love of science this year by hosting Science on Wheels again on
Friday February 17th.
This year’s topic will focus on mathematics in the form of spatial reasoning, probability, logic and patterns, and mathematics in everyday objects.
Students K-3 will have the opportunity to explore how fundamental math is in our everyday lives with a hands-on station based activities assembly facilitated by Pacific Science Center staff. Each K-3 class will come into the gym in 30 minute sessions throughout the entire day.

Students will discover how math is everywhere, from maps, to quilts, to fitting toys in a box. Grades 4 & 5 will have an opportunity to have a science expert visit their classroom for a 45 min in-depth science lesson focusing on the importance of math. This program reminds us how we use math every day!

Please see our VOLUNTEERS tab above to get invovled! - We need you!
