The Science Activity Time for students who have finished 3rd-6th grades has been popular again this summer.
Here are pictures of the 3 programs held this summer:
The last meeting for our scientists was to deconstruct the electronics our patrons brought in for us. Thank you to everyone who brought in keyboards, old phones, cell phones and whatever for the students to explore! Scroll through to see all the happy faces and at the end you’ll see just how many items were donated!

The second meeting, June 15, was just before Father’s Day. So, we made special cards for our dads! They light up!! Of all the projects this summer this one certainly required the most precision. For those young scientist who like to take the initiative it sometimes meant backtracking, redoing and tweaking the steps until all the rules of circuitry were followed so their cards actually lit up.

The first Science Activity this summer was the building of the Brush Bot. This was a little robot made with the brush of a tooth brush, batteries, mini vibrators and more.
Although some new students were at first frustrated by the lack of precision a”kit” could offer they soon joined the fun of being their own designers and creators.
The students had a great time building and testing their bots.
