Hopkinsville Middle School students will get an opportunity Thursday to learn about agriculture and its vital role in their everyday lives when the Kentucky Department of Agriculture’s high-tech Mobile Science Activity Center (MSAC) stops for a visit.
State ag officials say three mobile units travel to schools throughout Kentucky to give students the opportunity to conduct scientific experiments related to agriculture using current educational standards and core content.
The mobile units use tablet computers, a 70-inch LED monitor, and an all-in-one touchscreen desktop computer to interact with students. The mobile units contain internal generators; heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and handicapped-accessible ramps.
The mobile units are administered by the Education and Outreach Division in the Kentucky Department of Agriculture’s Office of Marketing.
