Grades 4 to 8

Program Update: As the bus is no longer available to join us, this program will take place inside the Kennedy Meeting Room

Take on the role of a researcher at the Center for Disease Control to identify the unknown microbe that is causing a fictitious outbreak. Create a list of potential culprits, learn about the good and bad microbes in our lives, and eliminate all the possible causes as we go. Discover the reason for the outbreak just in the nick of time!

The Rutgers Science Bus features interactive exhibits and laboratory exercises in the life sciences, earth science, and the physical sciences. These standards-based, hands-on activities engage youth in real-world problems and current Rutgers research.
