About This Activity
LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION! This exciting STEM-based class will cover the basics of how to make and perform a science show from start to finish. Students will create fun and fast-paced science segments that focus on topics such as MAGNETISM, BIODIVERSITY, STATES OF MATTER and WEATHER. They will rehearse, film, and edit their original science segments and present a full episode of The Newton's Attic Science Show during the exclusive premiere at the end of the week! We are thrilled to welcome back Master Teacher Amy Mayer, a student favorite and beloved member of our instructional team, who is bringing an exciting new class to a variety of age groups this summer!
