Family Science Night


Science Night                                          VS.
                                                                            School Carnival


“This was better than a carnival because my parents had fun too.”-4th grade student at Rio Vista




GOT GAS???

Chemical reaction station
needed:
-water bottle
-baking soda
-vinegar



What does the bottle temperature feel like?
What is happening?

Estimated over 350 students/family members attended the science night!


The night was not about students and parents learning scientific facts.  Instead the family science night was about students and their families participating in an educational exciting experience together.  The idea was FUN.  Science concepts were not to be shoved down their throats but the concept was to have a positive and enjoyable family experience at school. 

"Moreover, research tells us that parents’ attitudes affect their children’s attitudes, and some adults’
fears of science have a negative impact on their children" (Kober, 1993).
