For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible—all things were created through him and for him. (Colossians 1:16)
The High School Lab intensive summer program at the Ark Encounter is a weeklong experience in the newly constructed education lab inside the Answers Center. Each intensive will cover 15 essential labs in the disciplines of biology and chemistry. Our expert instructors provide a collaborative learning experience so that students learn to work together to solve problems and analyze scientific data. Students will spend five days participating in engaging, hands-on experimentation and application, but most importantly, each session will be uniquely presented from a biblical worldview. Our goal is to demonstrate that science always confirms the Bible!
