SCIENCE SATURDAYS
|
Science Saturdays engages young scientists age 5 to 10 in exploring science in a fun, engaging, hands-on manner. During each workshop, young scientists have time to freely explore Lab materials, engage in the care of the garden plants and animals, and conduct science experiments/explorations related to our topic while being exposed to related scientific vocabulary. Science Saturdays meets from 10am to 11:30am on the dates outlined below. Advanced registration required, space is limited, and masks are required. |

Botany Explorers
**This session is full** September 18th & 25th October 2nd & 9th We spend time in the Lab gardens caring for plants and exploring the different ways they can grow. Young scientists learn botany basics while providing direct care to fruits, vegetables, herbs, and more. We explore properties of soil, compare and contrast seeds, and take a plant home for further care. Slimy Science **2 spots remain** October 23rd & 30th November 6th Young scientists explore states of matter as we focus on semisolids and the fun that unfolds when created! Our slimy exploration incorporates the Scientific Method and engages young scientists in making ooey gooey predictions on what will happen next. Young scientists will receive a batch of slime to take home for further exploration. Brooklyn Chicken Club **THIS SESSION IS FULL** November 13th & 20th What does it take to care for a chicken in Brooklyn? Join us for the Brooklyn Chicken Club and find out! Young scientists explore ornithology and learn more about the characteristics of birds. We learn about chicken anatomy, behavior, and diet. Young scientists spend time observing the Lab's backyard hens and providing basic care. Crazy Cool Chemistry **3 spots remain** December 4th, 11th, & 18th We conduct fizzy, bubbly, colorful, and messy experiments! Young scientists implement the Scientific Method while learning about basic chemistry and chemical reactions. We use scientific tools and follow procedures that allow us to conduct our very own experiments. We make observations, share hypotheses, and delight in our results! |

"There aren't a lot of classes that my daughter is willing to give up her Saturday mornings for but we have zero problems getting her excited about Science Saturdays. Miss Carmen is an engaging instructor that makes science fun. Each Saturday has a different theme. There is a lot of discussion around each theme, experiments, a snack, and typically a take home activity. I am always amazed at what my daughter has learned in the span of 2 hours of Kiddie Science. It's a great program for children that love science, children that have a billion questions about everything, and as a supplement to regular elementary education."
