Science Club is back with two sessions, meeting on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, October 3 through November 15. We’re offering hands-on science adventures for students in grades two through five; first grade students may participate if an older sibling is enrolled in Science Club AND an adult can volunteer to help every day that the first grade student attends. We meet from 3:35 until 4:45 PM in the LMC.
Session 1: Super Soil Sleuths (three weeks)
Without healthy soil we cannot grow successful crops or beautiful gardens. Interested students will collect soil samples from various locations around OMS in September, recording the plants and animals found in each location. Then we’ll all spend three weeks in the lab to measure moisture, pH, nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus levels with chemical tests, examine physical structure with microscopes, determine the soils’ composition, and explore porosity, retention, and permeability of various soil types.
Session 2: Towers and Bridges (three weeks on Tuesdays, four weeks on Wednesdays)
Can you design and build the bridge with the largest load to weight ratio? Can you build and design the tallest tower that can withstand wind and earthquakes?
Want to join in the fun? Then complete and return the registration form as soon as possible. Sessions can fill up very quickly. The number of students per session is dependent on the number of adult volunteers.
To ensure that we’re able to provide a safe and enjoyable activity at least two adults will be present each day. Any days that do not have at least one adult volunteer will be cancelled. Please consider signing up to help on one or more days as your schedule allows.
