National 4-H Youth Science Day





On October 8, 2008 the 4-H Youth Development Program is launching the first annual 4-H National Youth Science Day to help build America's future science, engineering, and technology workforce. The National Science Experiment, the designated science activity of 4-H National Youth Science Day, will focus on the environment and will use science principles to teach youth across the country about the importance of water conservation.

More details about the event can be found here: http://www.4-h.org/4-HNYSD.html

And you can now check out the experiment itself.

Questions can be directed to Andy Ferrin (301-961-2972) or Allyson McMahan (301-961-2915) at National 4-H Council.

Apparently, we will be able to try out the experiment at Galaxy on Monday evening's "2008 Curriculum Showcase". I'll try to bring home other 4-H S.E.T. materials and ideas from Indianapolis next week.
