Science in the Summer

Science in the Summer returns!
Scott Library is excited to once again host the Carnegie Science Center’s wonderful traveling science program for kids,
which is sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline.
This year it’s all about Chemistry!
 
Students entering grades 2 thru 6 in the Fall of 2011 are welcome to participate.
 
“This summer, through the generous sponsorship of GlaxosmithKline, the exciting world of Chemistry awaits students.
Through lots of fun activities, they will learn what matter is and that it is not always the same. 
The young chemists also will observe physical and chemical changes.  They will turn pennies into gold, make crystals,
and watch raisins and popcorn dance.  Students will decide if substances are acids, bases, or neutrals by using litmus
and pH papers and a universal indicator.  Students will receive safety glasses, lap aprons and activity books to keep.
At the end of the four-day session, students will receive a certificate of completion for participating in the program at
a ceremony that the parents and families are invited to attend.”
 
This free program will be run in 2 sessions from:
Monday, August 15ththrough Thursday, August 18th.
Session 1 will be 12:30 – 1:30 for those entering grades 2-3
Session 2 will be   2:00 – 3:00 for those entering grades 4-6
 
Pre-registration is required and a parental release form must be signed before any child is allowed to participate.

Registration will open Saturday, June 18th.
