Science with Willa

Science enrichment consultant Willa Owings brings hands-on science into the kindergarten classroom in fun, interactive and adaptable programs specifically designed to augment current educational curriculum.

Willa works closely with kindergarten teachers to adapt a life science unit on bugs, slugs and creepy crawlies to enhance their on-going science instruction. The unit is introduced to the kindergarteners with interactive specimen exhibits, hands-on experiments, games and activities. The goal is to provide fun and engaging learning experiences in which children can explore their ideas in creative and challenging ways.

Willa has been a science consultant at Lakeshore for a number of years. She holds a BA in Theatre Arts and an MA in Early Childhood Education. She was the founder and director of the Children’s fun factory, a creative arts and sciences program in San Francisco and has taught workshops in staff development, environmental enrichment, sensory and brain development. She is a visual artist, naturalist and mother of two.
