Geeky Girls Event Focuses on Animals

Last Saturday, Tandem's Geeky Girls, Upper School girls who volunteer their time to create fun science learning days for elementary school aged girls, held another event at Tandem. This month's theme was “Animals” and the science learning/activity stations included:
  • Making Elephant Toothpaste (a classic chemical reaction)
  • Building a DNA Model
  • Build-an-Insect
  • Slime Making
  • Chemical Weathering Station
Thirteen Upper school volunteers, with group leaders Addie and Sofia, shared their science wisdom and enthusiasm with around 14 local 3rd-4th graders. Next month, there are already 63 girls signed up for a Marine Biology themed lab day, along with more exciting chemical reactions.
