6th and 7th grade students are invited to the annual Governor’s School Science Day at MLWGS. Sponsored and organized by the school’s Science National Honor Society (SNHS), this event will offer students the opportunity to learn about multiple fields of science through fun hands-on activities and exposure to advanced laboratory techniques.
The day will be filled with a diversity of scientific offerings, or modules, through which students will be exposed to a variety of topics. Topics in the past have included some of the following: robotics, pyrotechnics, Emergency Medical Service (EMS) techniques, experiments with a Van de Graaff generator, the physics of egg drops, and the thermodynamics of making ice cream. During the course of each module, students can look forward to brief explanations of the science behind the activity in addition to an exciting demonstration or hands-on portion.
The cost per student for the program is $5.00. Arrangements can be made should this pose a hardship to any student.
Check-in for the occasion will begin as early at 9:00am with the program starting at 9:30am. Students will remain on the school premises until closing at 3:00pm. The day will consist of an opening ceremony followed by four different, randomly selected, activities broken up by lunch and finishing with a closing ceremony. Lunch will be provided by SNHS, but transportation will not be provided.
