The local public school board is celebrating a milestone when it comes to teaching science in the classroom.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Lambton Kent District School Board’s Science Education Partnership.
Officials say the collaborative program involves local educators, businesses, industry leaders, and community groups to support elementary educators in delivering engaging, experiential science learning that inspires curiosity and deepens understanding.
One of the program’s flagship initiatives is the Science Kit Program, which provides curriculum-aligned kits covering more than 42 unique topics—from “Living Things” and “Flight” to “Space,” “Conservation,” and “Machines & Mechanisms.”
Officials say with over 600 science kit boxes circulating across LKDSB schools and more than 1,500 bookings to date this year, the program ensures students have access to tactile, real-world materials that bring science to life.
