4-‐H Science on the Move is a mobile program that provides educational resources designed to increase students’ exposure and interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). For the 2014-‐2015 school year, we will be offering several standards-‐based activities for classroom instruction. All lessons match South Carolina Science Academic Standards. The impact of the programs will be evaluated by the number of children reached in each county, in addition to pre-‐ and post-‐
testing for certain activities. Grants are available in some counties to assist with the cost of certain activities. Summary Science on the Move was d eveloped by South Carolina 4-‐H and the Clemson Extension Service to follow children from kindergarten through high school, giving them the skills to further their training after graduation. This is intended to help coach students to become the prepared workforce that South Carolina needs to interest new businesses and encourage economic growth. The program includes a w ide variety of equipment and kits to give youth a unique, hands-‐on learning experience that will help them further understand science concepts.
