Just in time for the back-to-school season, students can continue exploring their interest in science beyond the school day through the MilliporeSigma Curiosity Labsat Home science education program.

The MilliporeSigma Curiosity Labs™ at Home program is designed using hands-on science experiments and lessons from MilliporeSigma’s core science education efforts, including Curiosity Labs™ and the Curiosity Cube® mobile science lab. The series of educational science experiments can be completed easily at home with materials typically found around the house.
