Welcome to OWLS Outreach website. We are a group of enthusiastic Rice graduate students from diverse backgrounds passionate about communicating about life sciences to K-12 students (with a focus on 5th-8th grade). Our goal is to engage students with hands-on, mentored science and also develop and make available tools that can be used by teachers to instill a passion for science in their students when we’re not around. Founded in 2015, we have spent the last 9 years developing lessons and activities for all of you to enjoy. We love getting feedback from our fans so please leave us comments if you liked any of our modules or if you have any suggestions on how we could improve them!

Now more than ever, we recognize the challenges faced by students and teachers alike that have been presented by the ongoing pandemic. In addition to in-person visits to your classroom, we have developed some virtual alternatives that we hope can serve as useful teaching resources.

Feel free to navigate our website to find out about in-person classroom lessons, virtual modules, and to meet our team! You can contact us at owlsoutreach@gmail.com.
