Junior Scholars (Grades K-5): Food Wars!

Junior Scholars

This week's theme is one you probably haven't spent much time thinking about: Food Wars! If you put two foods in a matchup, who would "win?" Peanut butter or jelly? Bacon or eggs? Bread or butter? In our programs, we'll read stories that center around food matchups,  do some hands-on experiments, make some creative projects, and play some games. Be sure to pick your favorite food and see if they come out on top!

Junior Scholars (K - 5th Grade): Ice

Junior Scholars

Let's talk about ice for a bit. It's great to have ice from the freezer to cool down a beverage on a hot day, isn’t it? In terms of weather, it isn't something we see in our area very much (which can be good, as it’s so slippery it can make getting around dangerous).  As it turns out, ice is great for experiments and creative fun, so join us for one of the programs below. Ice think you will be glad you did!
