Y.E.S. is a hands-on science adventure!

     There is currently nothing like the Youth Experiences in science curriculum for providing high quality, children's science education in afterschool settings.  The curricula incorporates cross-age teaching, inquirey-based activities combined with cooperative learning, focuses on scientific thinking processes, and features the learning cycle of instruction.  The Y.E.S. curricula set offers more than 250 planned thematically-linked science education experiences that are geared for 5-to-8 years of age and childcare providers.  The activities have real-life applications and use inexpensive and readily available materials.  Each unit includes five to ten days of activities, a family science activity booklet, and science learning center activities (800 pages).
     The curricula set has seven science discovery units and includes a Teen Recruitment and Orientaiton Guide that gives a training outline designed to provide step-by-step assistance in organizing and presenting a successful teen Y.E.S. training along with handout materials and visual aides that can be easily duplicated.
