Water, Water Everywhere!

 

FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL CHILDREN -

6th - 7th - 8th grade !

 

Instructors:       Marissa Church

Jenesta Marshall

Susan Harris BS, MS

 

Water is all around us. So much so that we possibly pay it no attention. For three consecutive Saturdays, we will learn, ponder, and play with water. Some of the topics to be covered include: the chemistry and physical nature of water, how water is an essential part of who we are, and how water is predicted to soon be more valuable than oil. We will learn together by experimenting, questioning, and debating, and okay a bit of lecturing, but we promise to keep the “talking head stuff” to a minimum!

 

This course consist of three Saturdays:

  • February 13th, 2010 - 9:00 am - 12:00 Noon
  • February 20th, 2010 - 9:00 am - 12:00 Noon
  • February 27th, 2010 - 9:00 am - 1:00pm

 

Please try to make a commitment to all three sessions.

 

(Registration preference will be given to middle school students who can attend the entire series of classes.)
