Science Olympiad Fun Night was held
on Friday, April 20, using a grant written by 
NC-RESA. It
was for grades K-5; students were put into groups and were led through three
science activities by parent guides. Grades K-1 built bridges out of
pasta, worked on weighing skills, and experienced colors "exploding"
on the surface of milk. Grades 2-3 explored the differences in bird
beaks/bills, learned about extreme weather (tornadoes and hurricanes), and
became familiar with animal tracks and scat of local animals. Grades
4-5 constructed roller coasters, participated in a tropical eco-challenge, and
conducted experiments to find the identity of four mystery powders.
