Maple Grove students, parents experiment with science during monthlong program

Maple Grove Elementary School culminated a month long science experiment program with a special science night with parents and students in kindergarten through third grade.

Students and parents rotated through a series of science experiment tables during the event.

Starting on January 11, students in kindergarten through third grade participated in a four-week program called "Science-in-a-Sack."

Volunteers at each grade level bagged experiment worksheets and some needed materials into plastic bags for the lucky students. Students took a bag home each Monday during the period and conducted the enclosed experiment and returned the completed materials each Friday.
