ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.

Try Hands On Science Outreach. Training, "lesson plans", all  student 
materials, and even scripts for teacher-parents are included in their 
kits. We've been using them for after-school off and on for years. The 
program was first developed by Montgonmery County PTA in Maryland, and 
is now a national non-profit science enrichment program for students 
grade K-6. The kits are organized so that if a student began the program 
in grade K and did every single program up through 6th grade there would 
be no duplication.
