Hands On Science
This has been a busy week of hands on science with a special day at Bartlett Public Library. We had a sold out room of students. Thursday is an outing with Girl Scouts for a hands on science program. Lots of supplies are ready and I know the girls will be excited. Later this week are school shows, cub scout shows and library shows.
Sensational Science at Library
Here is the Chicago Sun Times write up for the Sensational Science show at a library this weekend. This is the general science show from Getting Excited About Science. This is a busy weekend with 3 library shows.

Scince show in library. The girl is trying to help figure out where OZ is from. The 10′ tall puppet is OZ.
Earth Day Science Show
As part of the Earth Day Show, there is a segment on “Carbon Footprints” Just received a link to this terrific video about carbon footprints today and had to share.
Science Rocks & Fossils
These are a part ot a show for primary students where they wanted to talk about rocks and fossils. Check out my fish, he came from Montana at the same site that US President Truman got his (which he later gave to the leader of Japan as a gift.) Millions of years of history here on the bench. Of course, the kids still like the shark’s teeth.
STEM and Primary Shows
This week will feature a STEM night show at a magnet school. This will be my 3rd year at this school and I feel honored that Getting Excited About Science will be a part of it. The week ends with pimary elementary shows with custom topics for the students. Friday’s show is a repeat show at a Palatine school (5th year in a row there). Even with all of these shows, I am looking forward the summer library shows. I am bringing out different demonstrations to tie into the library reading themes and digging deep into science.
New Year Shows
Jan 2 represents the first science shows of 2013 with a 10:00 and a 1:00 show at the Palatine Public Library. The second week of January represents the school shows starting up again. Happy New Year!
