Fun with Science Ciera Gaskins

MISSIONAs a program our

mission is to educate our participants

about science and having fun while

doing so.

GOALS & OBJECTIVES To educate

participants in science.

To create a fun way for participants to understand scientific activities.

Encourage the participants to use their imagination and challenge themeselves.

Have complete scientific knowledge about the activity.

Create activity such as Glow Cup and Oobleck.

While participants engage in their activity, we asked questions to gain knowledge on their thoughts and the conclusions they were creating at the time.

REFLECTION

As a group, we feel that our overall program went well. At first, time management was an issue but we

regrouped and reevaluated so we could fix our mistakes during the second

session. Both activities (glow cup and oobleck) had participants engaged as well as entertained. As a whole, we were fortunate to have such great

volunteers who helped with preperation along with supervision. In

the end, each group member was satisfied with the outcome of our first

program, “Fun with Science”.
