ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Staging Family Science Nights helps teachers at all grade levels create informal learning environments that are fun for everyone. Written by teaching pros with years of experience directing science nights, the new NSTA Press book guides readers from the earliest planning stages to post-production. Topics include funding, supplies, safety, costumes, and snacks.
The book shows that family science nights can bring a community together while fostering a positive attitude about science and science education. Suggested activities range from creating color slime to competing in a Bubble Olympics. The activities provide learners with quality experiences they can use to construct important knowledge later, to discover an interesting new area of science, or to re-engage with forgotten content.
Staging Family Science Nights is designed to be a crowd-pleaser, whether teachers are looking for new ideas for an established event or planning their first one. The book can also be used by scout troops, homeschoolers, libraries, summer camps, and museums. It’s also flexible enough to be used by students of all ages. Adults will enjoy the science nights, too!
