	Biology A biologist helps students explore all aspects of basic biology including the microcosmic world of the cell and the study of major ecosystems.
	Calder The Engineer, Calder The Artist Students examine the mobiles and stabiles of Alexander Calder to learn about the laws of gravity and simple physics including kinetic energy, action and reaction, momentum, and mass. The students then construct their own mobiles and stabiles applying the laws of physics and the artistic style of Calder.
	Chemistry Experiments Working with a LEAP scientist, students experiment with the basic principles of chemistry through cooking.
	Comets, Asteroids, and the Solar System Students work with a scientist to learn basic astronomy through demonstrations, experiments, model building, and the creation of audio-visual productions.
	Digging Up Dinos Students in grades preK-3 visit the Dinosaur Hall and related exhibits at the American Museum of Natural History to learn about fossils, dinosaurs, and the role of the paleontologist. At their school, a Leap artist helps students to create dinosaur dioramas, models, faux fossils, murals, and books.
	ESPET: Creating a Scientist Working with a scientist, students learn the scientific method and how to conduct easily replicated experiments designed to teach the basic concepts covered in the ESPET test.
	Forensic Science This exciting program introduces students to a different crime scene each week. Students collect clues and work with a Leap scientist applying various scientific tests to analyze the clues and determine who or what was responsible.
