On Thursday November 16, 5th graders were excited
to welcome parents into the science lab to help learn about physics. The first
Hands on Science event was truly a success with students working alongside
parent volunteers to observe various science topics such as: light refracting and
reflecting, the density difference between regular soda and diet soda and
students even observe the conduction of thermal energy as heat traveled through
aluminum foil, melting Hershey Kisses along the way.
“It was really cool seeing my dad helping us learn science,”
said one student whose dad volunteered. “He wasn’t able to attend many events
last year, but I liked that he got to see some of the things we’re learning in
class.”
5th grade plans to hold their next Hands on
Science event in March so please be on the lookout for information regarding
volunteer opportunities for this fun, educational event.
