The Louisville Science Center offers a variety of hour-long Distance Learning programs via the Kentucky TeleLinking Network (KTLN). They are designed to support National Science Standards in science, mathematics and technology. Teacher preparation materials and supplies for hands-on activities are provided for each interactive link.
Students have the opportunity to perform experiments while participating in a live, interactive video conference link. Each program includes an equipment kit of supplies, pre-lab and post lab activities, and suggestions of ways to expand the learning experience.
