Science Club is back for Olive students to enjoy:
Session 1: Nature Quest (two weeks) 2nd through 5th grade students
Experience this classic Science Olympiad event which combines map and compass with biology.
Session 2: Polymer Detectives (two weeks) 2nd through 5th grade students
Investigate the polymers and plastics that are so important to modern life.
Session 3: Rocks, Minerals, and Fossils (two weeks) 1st through 5th grade students
Examine samples using the tools of science. You may even add a specimen or two to your own collection!
Sessions one and two are for second through fifth-grade students, while the third session is for first through fifth-grade students. First-grade students may participate in the first two sessions only if they have an older OMS sibling(s) enrolled in Science Club and a parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle can volunteer to help.
Science Club meets in Room 110 from 3:45-4:45. Students may enroll in one, two, or all three sessions. There is no charge to participate, however, you must register by completing the attached form and returning it to the Olive office no later than Friday, September 29. Students and children are enrolled on a first-come, first-served basis; session sizes are limited and often fill up quickly so don’t delay! Please note that there is no Science Club on October 31 (happy Halloween!) or November 1.
To ensure that we’re able to provide a safe and enjoyable activity there will be at least two adults present each day. Any days that do not have at least one adult volunteer helper will be canceled. Please consider signing up to help as your schedule allows. Parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles are all welcome to volunteer. Don’t let the Olive students have all the fun; even if you can only come one day out of the twelve please join us! Thank you.
Science Club has been funded by generous grants and donations from BP, Northrop Grumman Corporation, the American Chemical Society, ABC 25, Educational Innovations, Barnes and Noble, Orochem Technologies Inc., and individuals interested in science education.
