The Science Series program, presented by Moderna, is the second installment of the Mets STEM platform. This program was created to provide science curriculum to schools that is related to the everyday operations of Citi Field. The Amazin’ Mets Foundation partners with Learn Fresh, a nonprofit that aims to leverage students’ passion for sports and entertainment to inspire their STEM and social-emotional learning.
Schools participating in the Science Series program get an exclusive Mets-focused science curriculum to implement in their classrooms. The Mets provide teachers with six lesson plan topics to implement over the course of six months. Lessons include meteorology/weather patterns, photosynthesis/plant growth, water safety/conservation, recycling, composting, electricity/energy use and television connectivity.
Participating students received a hands-on experience through a behind the scenes tour of Citi Field’s ballpark operations, as it relates to the curriculum they will learn. Students had a chance to visit the weather room, floral shop, compost/recycling area and more.
