Science Explorations (gr 3-4) 9:30-10:20 (Jody Gramling)

Explorations in Magnetism and Electricity (gr 5-6) 9:30-10:20 (Mischa Holt)
Come explore how electricity works by using unconventional materials. Instead of purchased wires, switches, and fuses, we will make our own circuits with aluminum foil, clothespins, paper clips, and steel wool. We will make circuits, compare series and parallel circuits, understand how a light bulb is wired, make fuses, learn about electronic resistance and more. Toward the end we will add magnetism and learn about dipoles, map magnetic fields, make compasses, electromagnets and other magnetic gizmos.
Presidents and Elections (grade 5-6) 10:30-11:20 (Jody Gramling)
The focus will be on the path to the presidency. Taking advantage of the election season, this class will feature a variety of activities in various related topics, such as The Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the election process, voting, etc.
