Saturday Science for Fifth Graders was a Big Success!

We expected a low turnout for the Fifth Grade Saturday Science on November 2, 2013 because of Math and Science Middle School tours and a new ESL program, but boy were we surprised when about 43 families showed up! We made tea bags using mint harvested and dried from the school garden, made lava lamps, illustrated birds, and practiced designing parachutes, among other things. But the coolest thing was when everyone got a chance to do a little chemistry. Using hydrogen peroxide, food coloring, yeast and warm water, students created an oozing, foaming, and quite colorful, mess of elephant toothpaste! What a surprise!
