Family
Science Night presents
science related activities at your school for parents and children to
enjoy together as they participate in a variety of hands on projects.
We come to your school and present interesting
and educational science projects that parents and
children can explore together.
The goals of Family Science Night are
to provide:
- Students and their families the opportunity to find "science" in real world
activities.
- Cooperative learning activities that develop problem solving, questioning,
and communication skills.
- Meaningful science study opportunities using many commonly found,
everyday materials.
- Involvement in the scientific process - making predictions, collecting
and evaluating data, modifying the original experiment, and trying
again
Research shows that student test scores and enjoyment of learning dramatically
increase with parent participation. Thus Family Science Night seeks
to involve parents by presenting:
- Opportunities for parents and students to be partners in learning.
- Informal learning activities that supplement the child's school experience.
- Activities that use inexpensive and readily available materials.
