Registration Begins May 24 – Space is Limited |
|
| |
Who:
Philadelphia County students entering second through sixth grade are invited to register and attend GlaxoSmithKline’s Science in the Summer program, a free and fun experiment-oriented course taught by certified teachers to groups of 15 students in two age groups: children entering second and third grades (Level I) and children entering fourth through sixth grades (Level II). GlaxoSmithKline’s Science in the Summer is sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and administered by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in partnership with local libraries.
What:
GlaxoSmithKline’s Science in the Summer program will teach Philadelphia students about the wonders of Physical Science and Electricity. Students will learn about magnetism, static electricity, electrical currents and circuits. Students will make a compass and an electromagnet and use an electrostatic generator — a truly hair-raising experience!
In Philadelphia, GlaxoSmithKline’s Science in the Summer program consists of two-day sessions. Two-day Saturday sessions also will be offered at select libraries. Class times vary by library. See listing below to confirm class times. Call your local library for more information.
Why:
GlaxoSmithKline’s Science in the Summer opens young minds to the world of science and fosters a life-long appreciation of learning. This year’s class will mark over 100,000 students from the Greater Philadelphia region who will have participated in GlaxoSmithKline’s Science in the Summer since its inception 24 years ago.
