Math, science lights up the night
Discovering cool stuff is the focus of Math and Science Night at Beech Hill. On Thursday March 13, everything from rockets to rhombuses filled the hallways.
This is a child-centered event where students discover math and science through hands-on exploration. Activities included in the event were the Star Lab, Mobile Mining, Journey through the Swamp, Everyday Math Games, Bugs Don’t Bug Me, Reptiles from Lowcountry Exotic Pets, It’s a Small World, All About Air, 3D, What’s the Matter With Shaving Cream, Geo Patterns, It’s For the Birds, Math Games Galore, Eskimo Estimation, Pop Goes the Rocket, Bubbles, Get in Shape and Copycat, Sink or Float, and Sounds Around.
Parents and students arriving early could drop by to peruse the Book Fair before continuing through the building to each event. Students were even adding and subtracting in the check out line at the Book Fair!
Very young students could check out the bubble event and the sink and float and older students gravitated toward the rockets, star lab, and reptiles. Some students even ate chocolate covered bugs in the Bugs Don’t Bug Me presentation.
