Students at our school will be participating in STEAM day and Wacky Science is just what we need. Dr. Science provides engaging activities for students of all ages. His presentations are filled with science fun that is done with everyday household items used in creative and unexpected ways. Dr. Science is needed to create a visual experience and help students see that science is truly amazing and a part of everyday life. Dr. Science will be conducting science experiments with both our primary and intermediate students during 2 different assemblies. These experiments will be aligned with our state science standards and will help promote a love for science with all of our students with STEAM activities.
