You don’t need lab coats or test tubes to learn about science. Children are naturally curious about the world around them. How do you match their enthusiasm and desire to learn with educational expectations?
Achieve Now programs guide children to engage and take ownership of their learning. Through investigation, collaboration, and analysis, children learn that STEM is knowledge and practice.
Children make sense of their world and learn big ideas by using common everyday objects for experimentation. Connections are made, enthusiasm for STEM grows and lasting memories formed. We nurture lifelong learners through interactive assemblies and hands-on experiences.
ASSEMBLIES
Our 45 minute assemblies translate standards to practices with the CA Next Generation Science Standards.
HANDS-ON SCIENCE
The students will improve their understanding of science principles with multiple hands-on activities.
FAMILY SCIENCE
Family Science provides a better understanding of science concepts and their practical applications.
HOST A SCIENCE FAIR
A science fair is a culminating event where the entire student body showcases their science projects.

This morning I watched one of the best science assemblies I have ever seen
This morning I watched one of the best science assemblies I have ever seen. It was entitled “Our Atmosphere.” The “scientist” and educator, Rich Blagden, explained concepts to the students like, gravity, and atmospheric layers and air pressure in “kidspeak.” He used students from the audience to perform great experiments with items you would find around the house. Students were encouraged to go home and replicate the experiments. The teachers loved it. The teachers even asked Rich to extend the 2nd assembly by ten minutes.

It was great to work with my child and see the excitement in their eyes while learning
I hope we have more assemblies like this one in the future. The student’s were able to physically see what they had been taught. It is always more beneficial for a student to see and test what they have learned. It is always more meaningful. It was great to work with my child and see the excitement in their eyes while learning.
