It’s Scientific!

“Rocks” never looked so tasty!
The D-H Science Club
by Devi Acharya (Grade 6, science club member)
If you love science and want a fun way to learn about it, the D-H Science Club is for you!
In Science Club, we explore the different facets of science—from pressure and explosions to electricity and magnets. You not only learn and understand the way things work (such as how rocks are formed and how electricity is generated), but you also participate in interesting hands-on activities. For example, we made fudge in order to understand rock formation and we learned about pressure by exploding film canisters.
The science club meets each Friday after school to do hands-on science activities in biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, and earth science. Washington University undergraduates Adrienne Swanstrom, biology major, Dave Harris, biology major, and Daniel Falk, chemistry major, volunteer as club leaders. Delmar-Harvard teacher Sandra Feemster is the staff sponsor. Washington University Science Outreach coordinates the program through funding from the National Science Foundation and the Parkview Gardens Association.
