The first meeting gets rolling...quite a commotion with 80 kids!

Miss Kewley helps first-time Science Clubbers get settled.

Alex, Emily, Hussein, and a friend work together to build a simple electrical circuit that will light a small bulb. Good teamwork, kids!

Hayley, Sara, and Sarah practice closing their circuit to light the bulb - what "bright" girls!

Let there be light!

Here is a sample of the Morse Code we used to send our messages.

A simple circuit in action...

At our fourth meeting, Mr. Stuck explains how a Van de Graaff generator works - as Miss Kewley prepares to get her hair raised!

Definitely a bad hair day for Miss Kewley!

Megan experiences the power of static electricity!

At our fifth meeting, with 2nd graders only, we determined which brand of dish soap could make a better container for gases (or in other words, make a bigger bubble!) Miss LaChance shows some 2nd graders how it is done!

Hayley, Yevan, and Alex's group wow Miss Kewley with their bubble-blowing ability!

Hunter and a friend have some awesome bubble-blowing power!

Which brand of dish soap will be the winner girls - Dawn or Joy???

111023/p336592030_83026.jpg

What a bubble! Looks like the yellow "Joy" brand was the winner, but it was definitely a close call!

Mr. Stuck captivates the 3rd grade members with the "Balloon Blow-up" experiment!

Third graders blow a giant "table bubble!"

111023/p311781172_83321.jpg

It looks like Joy brand was the clear winner this time!

For our seventh meeting with ALL members, we learned the theory behind water-bottle rockets: The Law of Action and Reaction!

111023/p172502133_83445.jpg

Mr. Stuck prepares to launch the first rocket...

111023/p169619437_83446.jpg

Except for Mr. Stuck getting a little wet, the launch was a complete success!

Some finished bottle rockets - experimental designs to be tested at the next meeting!
