Family Science Night at Lincoln Elementary School
Thursday, February 24, 2011.
Location: 701 S. Pennsylvania Avenue.
Contact: Christina Meadows, MS
Christina.Meadows@UCDenver.edu
Family Science Night is an all-school educational activity designed to encourage
students' interest in science, as well as to help parents learn how to do everyday
science activities with their children. We have plans for different stations with
varied activities, mostly involving physics and chemistry concepts. Volunteers
would stay at a single station from about 6-8pm and help families do the activities
by explaining how they are done and helping them carry them out. Children in the
school range from 3-11 years old, so many activities will have two sets of
instructions based on age. We would like you to arrive about 30 minutes early to
become comfortable with your station, and to have some pizza before the event. You
will not need to help clean up, and your total time commitment should only be about
2.5 hours. The families are always very excited and enthusiastic about educational
nights, and it helps the parents feel less intimidated about doing science with their
kids. Volunteering for this event will help a great cause. Making science fun and
memorable for kids has an amazing impact on their attitudes towards science in
general. For the volunteers it's fun, it's easy, and you will have the opportunity to
encourage students in science! Please consider volunteering for Family Science
Night.
