  4. Science Express Service History • 4,000 visits • 300,000 miles • Student-instrument interactions • Over 200,000

  5. Program Rationale and Operation • Help both teachers and students understand how science is performed in the world today • Develop both a comfort level and a familiarity with the use and application of modern technologies • To enhance laboratory experiences

  6. Success of the Program • “The instruments are very useful. I plan to use more of them because the instruments are the highlight of the year. The students feel they are doing something important when they use the equipment. The equipment also provides technical-training and an opportunity for ‘real’ science.”
