Science Sense-ations
Join Cheryl Blum on
July 17, 2008
at 1:00 PM
Science Sense-ations is geared for grades 1 through 4, but people of all ages enjoy the experience, including the adults!
Music is one of the things that makes Science Sense-ations different from other science programs. Scientist and performer Cheryl Blum introduces each topic with an original song and this helps to spark an interest as well as reinforce some concepts. Then she uses the simple scientific process of "Question - Test - Answer" to teach some basic science during each segment. There are dramatics, there are tricks, and there are lots of unique things to get kids thinking about science in a positive light.
The program runs 90 minutes to 2 hours , includes all three topics (chemistry, light, and sound), and is limited to 20 participants. This program allows for the highest amount of hands-on activity. For these small groups there will be souvenirs for each participant.
REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED
