Beginning Friday, March 10th, Mr. Peterson will be holding SCIENCE FRIDAYS at NMS Secondary, P30. The purpose is to provide an informal atmosphere in which students are free to ask, explore and have fun in the world of science. The goal is to be more than a ‘science club’; we want this to be a welcoming setting for anyone to come by and ask questions to their heart’s content, to research and discover new knowledge, to use science in creative and nefarious (just kidding) ways and possibly cook some food (cooking is chemistry and biology!). This idea came about after hearing all the wonderful and complex questions students ask in science class, questions for which we never have enough time to answer thoroughly. So SCIENCE FRIDAY will be that, the opportunity not only to ask questions, but for students to be guided on how to find answers and to find new questions. In addition, there have been numerous requests from our students that our school have a Jugend forscht team – so SCIENCE FRIDAY will also be our starting point for that endeavor.
Currently, we are planning on holding SCIENCE FRIDAY every other week. However, if interest remains strong, then this could become a weekly event, especially if we have a Jugend forscht group. As of now, SCIENCE FRIDAY will begin at 14:15, but the room is yet to be determined. There will be an open door, so people are free to come up whenever they are finished with class. Everyone and every grade is welcome! ABI and IB students who are interested in science would be particularly welcome!
