Last week’s after school program focused on introducing 2^nd and 3^rd graders to some of the basic instruments and equipment used by scientists.  Activities for the day included viewing Martha Speaks: How to be an Inventor, reading a book entitled “The Blind Men and the Elephant”, completing a hands-on science experiment to make elephant toothpaste, and playing the game ‘Robo Rebuild’ found on the PBS KIDS® Lab website.  This project is funded by a Ready To Learn grant provided by the Department of Education to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
