Wanted: Science Museum Helpers

At the end of April the Eighth Grade Academy is going to coordinate and host a Science Museum. All students will be given a science standard from the MA state frameworks and will create an interactive display that will clearly explain and demonstrate their standard. For example: A display on phases of the moon could include a light bulb and some moon pops. We're going to invite families to come tour the museum one evening, and the following day all students will go through and take notes. This is designed to be: 1) fun, 2) review for MCAS, 3) fun.

Time flies when you're having fun, so I know April will be here before we know it (it's about -5 degrees outside as I write this!). I'm looking for a handful of students who are interested in helping me with some of the planning and coordination. I'm also willing to help any students who would be interested in delving deeper into a standard to create something spectacular!

I'm hoping to meet during my afterschool hours on Wednesdays and get started when we're back from February vacation.
