Alameda Science Nights

There are still some spots remaining for Science Night on Tues., Feb. 26! The theme this month is heredity and genetics. Click here to sign up for the Feb. 26 session - 6:30p. in the cafeteria (the other two sessions are full but check back for cancellations). Alameda Science Nights offer an exciting opportunity to share and explore science with your children in a fun and relaxed way. The Science Team designs the experiments and does all of the set up and clean up. You and your child just show up, engage in some good hands-on science fun, and learn something interesting and new.

The sessions are open to all Alameda students and a parent or guardian. Each family is invited to attend one of the three nights in February.

Thank you to the hardworking Science Team for putting these nights together.
