Montana spectrUM Science Experience

The University of Montana's spectrUM Discovery Area's Mobile Science Program, MosSE, travels exhibits and educators across the state.

The Montana spectrUM Science Experience (MosSE) is the mobile science arm of the University of Montana spectrUM Discovery Area. MosSE travels hands-on science exhibits around the state of Montana, serving over 52,000 students in 30 counties and all seven Montana reservations since 2007.

Maneuvering our erosion table is always a fun challenge, and our last visit proved no exception. MosSE wrapped up the school year in Victor, where over 200 K-12 students explored their local Bitterroot River and its relationship to the Clark Fork watershed. Our virtual watershed sandbox was as always a hit!

We recently traveled to the Blackfeet Reservation with our Institute on Ecosystems "Water" exhibition. We saw over 200 Browning Public Schools students and enjoyed talking with them about watersheds and rivers on the east side of the Great Divide. 75 students, parents, and community members returned for our evening Family Science Night to continue learning, playing, and asking great questions.

We recently brought our Brain exhibit north into the Flathead Valley for spectrUM's first ever visit to Olney Bissell School. Nearly 200 students and teachers from Olney Bissell as well as home-school students from the Kalispell area diagnosed the Big Sky Big Brain, explored their senses, and experienced a cow eye dissection.

Our Bitterroot tour recently stopped at Darby School District, where we engaged 295 K-12 students. We had great conversations with high-school students about how their generation can tackle water pollution, and younger students enjoyed building river channels and watersheds. Our Family Science Night was a hit, with 135 community members coming out to experience our Montana Institute on Ecosystems "Water" exhibition. Our Bitterroot tour is powered by the Jane S. Heman Foundation.
