Fwd: : AIS this Saturday

Folks

IMPORTANT:

I HEARD THIS MORNING THAT THE CHANCE OF EARLY MORNING SNOW IS 50/50. LET US KEEP OUR FINGERS CROSSED. I WILL:

1. CANCEL IF THE WEATHER FOLKS POSITIVELY SAY (BY FRIDAY NIGHT) THAT THERE IS SNOW SATURDAY MORNING-SAFETY IS THE PRIME CONSIDERATION.

2. CANCEL-SEND TEXT MESSAGE (FROM CHETAN SABNIS) CANCELLING AIS (ONLY LM-OTHER SITES HAVE THEIR OWN PROTOCOL) ON SATURDAY MORNING BY 7:15 AM (WILL ALSO SEND OUT AN EMAIL).

IF NOT cancelling, we have FIVE (5) wonderful sessions for you.

1. CHEMICAL REACTIONS: Which Chemicals give out heat (Exothermic) and which absorb heat (Endothermic). Where do these terms come from; What happens if you MIX chemicals. What GOOD OR HARM can chemicals do; Dos and DON'T's of Handling Chemicals.

2. SOAP: What is Soap; What is it made out of: Why do you use soap: Is there a Difference between CLEANING and WASHING Soaps? How do Fragrances get added- Are these GOOD or BAD? WHY is the Soap surface SMOOTH and NOT ROUGH? Make Soap in class?

3. CELL BIOLOGY: WHAT are cells? Where are they Found? What do they contain? What can you see under a microscope in a Cell? How many cells is a human being composed of OR Animals? What are ORGANISMS? HOW do cells form/Get bigger? What are the BIGGEST CELLS?

4. CANDY EXPERIMENTS; WHAT are candies? What do they have apart from SUGAR? Why are some candies SOFTER than the others? What is Hard Candy? WHAT can you do with Candies APART from EATING (NOTHING??)? WHY will Parents LOVE this topic?

5. Electricity-Basic Building Blocks of Electrical Circuits: What are ATOMS? How are they formed? Where do they exist? What do they do? What is ELECTRICITY? What are circuits? What is RESISTANCE/CAPCITANCE/INDUCTANCE? WHAT are Serial and Parallel Circuits? Build a Simple Circuit to Turn On an LED. WHERE are CAPACITORS Used?

PARENTS' DAY PROJECTS:

· On Parent's Day your children will present a project they work on from January to a small Peer Group of children.

· Projects can be theoretical (read some literature and present) or experiments.

· Concepts should be SIMPLE-something they can do with guidance and speak to.

· PURPOSE is to make them understand the effort it needs to put a (reasonably) cogent presentation from material they collect. PARENTAL GUIDANCE & HELP is FINE-PLEASE DO NOT DO IT FOR THEM-DEFEATS the PURPOSE!!

· Each Project Should have a hypothesis, Body of work, a conclusion IAND a sentence orr two on why the conclusion matches or does not with the hypothesis-IN THEIR OWN WORDS.)

· DR. K will provide a list of topics Children used over the past few years. PLEASE work with your CHHILDREN to GAUGE their Interest and IDEAS and work WITH THEM to Bring to Fruition.

· We Would LIKE ALL CHILDREN to do a Project-PREFER That they DO NOT REPEAT what they do IN School for the SCIENCE FAI/SCIENCE DAY etc.

Cheers
