Science On The Move is a Marist College project funded by a National Science Foundation grant and designed to improve the quality of teaching in secondary school chemistry, biology, physics and environmental science in three counties of New York State's Mid Hudson Valley. Additional major funding support has come from the Dyson Foundation, IBM, Bell Atlantic, and The Arthur Vining Davis Foundations. Numerous other community groups have also made contributions toward the sucess of the program.

The primary goal of the program is to enable teachers to integrate the most modern scientific instrumentation into laboratory experiments designed with a constructivist pedagogy. In addition, it networks participants with college staff and the broader world of the Internet by providing each teacher and their school with an IBM workstation and the training to communicate electronically.

To address the needs of the local high school science teachers, Marist builds on a successful NSF-funded project at Juniata College which has operated a project called "Science in Motion." This project has been in operation for nearly a decade.
