SCIENCE CENTER
Local teachers and students can take advantage of the Simplot Science Center and schedule hands-on experiments for specific age groups. The goal of the Science Center is to provide local students and teachers in the elementary through high school levels, a hands on learning experience demonstrating science.
The objectives are to peak the students' interest in science and to expose students to the career opportunities relating to science while allowing students to have a better understanding of the J. R. Simplot Company.
