Bring More Discovery into
Your 5th-Grade Classroom
Reaction Time is our hands-on science outreach program that brings innovative
instruction in chemistry to fifth-grade classrooms across Utah.
The Reaction Time program covers strands 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 of the fifth-grade SEEd standards.
Program Overview
Reaction Time includes a 50-minute hands-on lab experience with each individual class. During the lab, students learn how to design and perform chemistry experiments under the direction of a Discovery Gateway science outreach instructor. Discovery Gateway also provides teachers with follow-up lesson plans, materials, and science equipment to continue scientific learning in the classroom.
Reaction Time will be offered to every public elementary or charter school and all school districts in the state of Utah every year.
Reaction Time is funded by the Utah State Board of Education and is part of its iSEE Program.
