Zeko's "Milne Grove Science Museum" encourages K-3 students to experiment with scientific topics by building a hands-on science museum. The museum lets students experiment with scientific topics and teaches science through discovery learning and manipulatives. K-2 students describe observed events; develop questions about scientific topics; use measuring instruments to collect data; and learn to use basic science safety practices. Third-graders demonstrate and explain how forces cause actions and reactions; use scientific processes and skills like observing, estimating, and measuring to collect data; and describe and demonstrate the properties of solids, liquids, and gases.
