All
Hope all of you have started working on a project. Per Dr. K, who tracks how many of you have sent in the registration form, the number received so far is ZERO. You are not going to let me have the “dubious” record that no one from Leidos wanted to present on Parent’s day? Has never happened in my twenty five years of AIS-Why now??
Please get working –time is running short.
Someone mentioned that the Science Fair is on the same day as Parent’s day-March 10th. If that be the case, please try and juggle your schedules to attend both. It is as important for your child to have the “presentation” experience as attending the Science fair!!
We are going to be recording another session this week. Hopefully the gentleman who took the trouble to record has some news/suggestions etc. for the rest of us.
We have Four (4) sessions this week in addition to YOGA. I hear the participants are being groomed so well, that they are ready for a group demo soonJ
Topics are:
1. Sheep heart Dissection (For those that did not make it-LAST dissection session)-LEARN all about the “circulatory system”, dissection basics. Also LEARN about the Immune system, why is it important, what size is an artery or vein, how is flow maintained, in which direction does Blood flow?
2. Locomotives-How many types are there? What fuels are used-how are Diesel, Electric, Coal fuels different? How much heat/smoke, steam, power, and energy do they produce? What is the difference between them? Which is better? Can you build one at home?
3. How to catch a Criminal – What methods are used to catch “bad people”/ Fingerprints, DNA analysis, Blood type matching, Photo Ids? Learn how DNA is analyzed in an “imaginary” Crime Scene?! How is DNA found at the scene linked to a suspect-a fascinating experiment.
4. NUTRITION: LEARN all about what is Nutrition? How is it defined? Who decides what is good and bad? (Do they really know?) Are there any tests to determine this? Learn how Sugar, Protein and Fats in foods we eat are tested for AND Why? How accurate are the tests? Does the Brain control what one eats? Which part of the brain does this job?
See you all
