In-Touch Science is a hands-on science program developed by the Cornell Cooperative Extension for children in grades 3-5 (aged 8-11). The program helps children -communicate what they are observing and learning -understand the science connection between two fields of study -recognize those science concepts in daily experience.

The ten activities in In-Touch Science: Chemistry & Environment let children observe how one science concept relates to both chemistry and the environment. This unit encourages youngsters to be more curious about their everyday encounters with chemicals and environmental issues or news stories.
