Family Science Night is Coming to our School
The Children’s Science Center is bringing their Family Science Night Program to Freedom Hill Elementary School. Family Science Night offers a variety of engaging, hands-on science activities such as: Castle Geometry: Math in 3D!, Are you My Baby?: Animal Adaptations, How Slow Can You Go?: Defying Gravity, Fingerprint Analysis: Forensic Science and Shrink Me!: Taking Metric Measurements and many more. These experiments are specially designed to help encourage students to take interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subjects, as well as to encourage students to develop curiosity in everyday life situations.
Young children are natural scientists, rationally making observations, testing hypotheses, analyzing data and reaching conclusions. Unfortunately, many students lose interest in science as they grow up. Join us on Tuesday, October 10th from 6-8 pm to help keep our students engaged and excited about STEM subjects.
Volunteers are needed from 5:00 – 9:00 p.m. to set up, assist students with activities and clean up. Contact Gail Barnett (gcbarnett@fcps.edu) to volunteer. We hope to see you there!
