New Answers Lab at the Creation Museum

For the 2018-19 school year, the Creation Museum introduced a high school science lab program designed to provide high school students with several hands-on biology labs. And we are excited to announce that we will be offering four different courses for the next academic year, including biology, chemistry, forensic science, and physics.

These hands-on labs, taught by top-level instructors, provide students the practical side of science class, and it also provides the biblical worldview aspect many public schools lack, and even some Christian schools miss.

Learn more about our brand-new Answers Lab at the Creation Museum that will be used during the high school science labs and more below!

Brand New Answers Lab

Our high school science labs will be taught here at the Creation Museum in our brand-new Answers Lab.

Our CEO, Ken Ham, recently toured our Answers Lab with Dr. Jennifer Rivera, our educational specialist. The Answers Lab will be a great facility to have, and we’re excited for students to come and learn science, starting with God’s Word, in this new facility. You can watch that tour and learn more about the lab in the video below.
