Family Science Night at Hawthorne provided an evening of hands-on science activities. We hosted our science night in the school cafeteria where students and parents worked together to conduct simple, inquiry-based science activities. The activities were mostly physics based and the students had a ball! Students and their parents were expected to solve a problem, do an experiment, conduct an investigation, or do a creative lesson. Family science night programs offer something new and fun for both elementary students and their families. Here are a few reasons to get involved
