Environmental Education

Since 1962, the South Shore Natural Science Center has worked with schools to cultivate an awareness, appreciation, and concern for the natural environment.

The mission of the South Shore Natural Science Center is to provide natural science experiences that educate, excite, and commit every generation to preserve the environment and to encourage responsible use, stewardship and enjoyment of our natural resources.

Our Philosophy

The Science Center specializes in providing hands-on, interactive learning experiences that encourage investigation of the natural world. Our programs explore timely natural science themes and enrich understanding of human interrelationships with the environment. They are designed to invite participation and active inquiry, and to develop environmental literacy.
 

The SSNSC is committed to environmental education and dedicated to protecting natural resources and the quality of life on the South Shore.
