The Wonder Kids Science Club, for K-5th graders, is now being offered at the Blackfoot Community Center. The Science Club is included in the all-inclusive SHARK After-School Club membership fee of $25 per month or seperately for $5 per meeting for non-members. Thanks to an $1800 INL Community Grant, the Science Club can now purchase new child-size science equipment and other materials to help our Wonder Kids explore their world!Our Wonder Kids have already witnessed chemical reactions, such as homemade erupting volcanoes and tasted their own fizzy lemonade. They have made Oobleck (not a liquid or a solid - what is it???) and have designed and flown their own kites. They have also learned about:
Physiology - our amazing sense of sight
Meteorology - tornadoes (cyclones, twisters); being a weather watcher
Zoology - animal adaptions for survival
Botany - Arbor Day and why we love trees; planting a flower garden
We are looking foward to warm weather and many more outdoor science adventures and explorations! The Wonder Kids Science Club meets on Fridays from 4-5pm. If you are interested in more information about the Wonder Kids Science Club, please 
contact the BCC.
We certainly want to recognize and thank INL for their tremendous support and contribution to this program.
The kids are loving it!
