Live From Roper

Since our eLearning Live! lessons were so helpful in 2021, we are continuing them as free “Live From Roper” offerings. Connect with our science specialist via Zoom multiple times for new lessons changing every four weeks. Lessons are 30 minutes and are unique, engaging, and based on South Carolina and national standards. We encourage multiple virtual visits!

Specifics include:

  • 10-15 minute live demonstration by a Roper Mountain Science Center specialist
  • Reflection time to ask questions or offer comments about the activity via chat
  • Total connection time of 30 minutes
  • Expanded times at 9:00am for an entire grade level.
