It’s a great day for SCIENCE! Today I’m joined by thousands of kids in the California state capitol, where the Sacramento State Scientist Day takes place annually. The Women In Mining group (WIM- California Chapter) that I am a Board member of hosts a booth every year to teach participants about the importance of mining and the use of rocks and minerals in our daily lives. Today we are making toothpaste with some common household ingredients like baking soda, and Calcite, an extremely common mineral in the earths crust.
Geology, rocks and minerals are all part of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) 4th grade curriculum. If you are interested in lessons plans or having Vicki White the Science Lady come to your school to have this amazing lesson, email us at [email protected] ! Hello scientists - We are happily announcing Summer Science Camp 2019 this year in Maui!
Campers are going to conduct experiments and build projects using NGSS certified learning techniques and have fun learning about scientific principles and their applications. If you are interested in one of our week long sessions, contact Sacred Hearts School in Lahaina at (808)661-4720 for registration and information. See you in June! Vicki White knows that not all of your summer campers can go to off-site or make all of the field trips. That's why she offers On-Site Assemblies or "Single Day Camps" brought to your location. Each assembly will include a 50 minute educational show along with an activity time afterward. Campers will each participate with a hands-on activity and create a take home experiment to show off what they learned! All assemblies and projects can be suited to your groups age and NGSS curriculum level.
