The Science Explorers Club is an after-school activity run by University of Minnesota graduate students. Their involvement with Battle Creek is funded by the National Science Foundation and is a program to educate graduate students to be better communicators of their science, with K-12 teachers and students in particular and with the broader community of non-scientists in general. To learn more about this program visit: http://www.gk12.umn.edu/.
The Science club meets once a week on Wednesday after school from
3:45PM until 5:30 PM. Students have the opportunity to work with
scientists, each other and teachers on projects. Projects will be
displayed at a science fair at the end of the semester, and will be on
display at Battle Creek Elementary School.  | | The Cicada |
If you are interested in
joining the club, or know someone who is, please see your classroom
teacher for an application. You can also talk with one of the
scientists they are at Battle Creek on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Congratulations to the Science Explorers
On December 3, 2005, the annual Insect Fair was held at the University
of Minnesota. Each year hundreds of students from Minnesota and
Wisconsin, present their experiments at the fair. Battle Creek students
from the Science Explorers Club presented the results of their science
experiments at the Insect Fair. The sixteen students in the club
entered nine experiments and all of them won an award!
Congratulations!
