This week, HighTouch HighTech scientists will bring fun science experiments to Blythe Park classrooms. *Sponsored by the PTA.

Hands-on science experiments will allow students to make direct observations, manipulate materials and equipment, and develop an understanding of how science applies to daily life.

Students will be experimenting with the following topics:

• Early Learners – Nocturnal Animals: Students will take a closer look at nocturnal animals and learn all about owls and bats.
• Kindergarten – See Ya Later: Learn about plankton, and why almost all ocean life depends on them. Discover how marine mammals stay warm. Students will make their own reef to keep!
