It’s that time of year when pumpkins glow, ghosts giggle, and classrooms fill with the spirit of discovery. Halloween is the perfect opportunity to mix spooky fun with hands-on learning, and nothing captures that magic quite like this Halloween Balloon Experiment. Imagine a balloon inflating all by itself, no hocus pocus required. It’s the perfect trick AND treat rolled into one. This simple, bubbling experiment demonstrates that what looks like magic is actually just science in disguise.

The Mobile Ed STEAM Museum brings the magic of science, technology, engineering, art, and math right to your school’s doorstep. Imagine walking into your gym one seemingly ordinary day and suddenly finding yourself surrounded by hands-on exhibits, exciting games, and creative challenges that make learning come alive for your students. From building a giant arch and exploring robotics to testing out your hand-eye coordination and designing structures, this traveling museum turns what would be an average school day into an unforgettable adventure in discovery.

One of the most impactful ways for teachers to reinforce their lessons is with a school assembly. These exciting events take students out of their class and bring learning to life in fresh and engaging ways. By selecting an assembly that pairs well with the required curricula, teachers can bolster and strengthen what they’ve already taught in the classroom. These immersive experiences help impart essential knowledge by demonstrating concepts in ways that students are more likely to remember and retain.

Every student brings a unique blend of strengths, interests, and challenges into the classroom. Some light up during a class discussion, while others grasp concepts best when they see them visually or build something with their hands. As educators, our job is to create learning experiences that engage all learners—not just those who thrive with one method of instruction.

Every October, schools across the country recognize National Bullying Prevention Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness, fostering empathy, and taking a stand against bullying in all its forms. While important conversations about respect and safety take place in many classrooms, one critical lesson often gets overlooked: how to empower students not just not to bully, but to actively take positive action when they witness bullying.

The SkyDome Planetarium is one of the most exciting and immersive programs we bring to schools. From the moment students step inside, they are transported from their gymnasium to the depths of space. But what does it take to create such an unforgettable journey? Let’s take a peek behind the scenes. After all, it’s not rocket science… oh wait, some of it actually is!

October is National Bullying Prevention Month, a time dedicated to building safer, kinder, and more inclusive spaces for students everywhere. One of the most powerful tools we have in this effort is kindness itself. Research shows that small, intentional acts of compassion, like including a classmate, offering encouragement, or giving a compliment, can ripple outward and create a culture where bullying struggles to take root.

For many students, assemblies are a highlight of the year. These programs are a convenient way to provide unique and engaging learning experiences without ever having to leave the school. Mobile Ed’s assembly programs are designed to both educate and entertain students, help build academic skills, and inspire a lifelong passion for learning. From hands-on museums to anti-bullying adventures to mobile planetariums, Mobile Ed has an assembly that’s right for your students. If you’ve ever been curious about the booking process and weren’t sure where to begin, below is a step-by-step guide to help you get started!

In every successful school community, there’s a common thread: strong parent involvement. A proactive Parent Teacher Association (PTA) or Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) can make a tremendous difference in student success, school spirit, and overall educational experience. But what happens when PTA membership dwindles or parent volunteers are hard to find?

It’s back-to-school time! The beginning of the school year is never too early to get started on raising funds for your students and making sure teachers have everything they need to carry out their lesson plans. With the help of your Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) your school can get a head start on not just fundraising but also building a sense of community and encouraging family involvement early on. Below are three simple fundraisers your PTA can use to help expand and update your school’s resources.
