Ages - For children entering 4th through 6th Grade in the fall

Allergen warning - some of the days the program will use rice cereal (digestion), dried peas, or dried wheat (DNA extraction). Children will not be ingesting the materials, but they will be manipulating them to simulate the processes. We will have non-latex, non-powdered gloves available for children.

Currently, the day 2 program involves exploring a real sheep heart. (For children who are averse to this activity, Ms. Judy and Ms. Nicole are researching possible alternative activities.) 

This is a 4-Day Program series. You MUST commit to attending ALL FOUR DAYS to register. 

GSK Science in the Summer - Free hands-on experience made available by Glaxo Smith Kline, The Franklin Institute, Carnegie Science Center and South Fayette Library. Discover how humans are alike, and what makes us different by breaking down digestion, centering on circulation, mapping the brain and our bio-blue print DNA.  Explore the biology of different systems in your body working together to make you, YOU! Create cool take home projects and learn how a future STEM career in the Science of Me can relate to you!
