Kindergarteners at South Science and Technology Magnet School got a hands-on lesson in science today, with a little bit of “magic” mixed in.
Science Enhancement for Science Advancement, or SESA, came out to Unity Elementary School in Lima to teach about animals, their habitats, and their adaptations. Rachel Smith from SESA told the students all about animals such as gorillas, bees, and spiders, and topics like camouflage and pollination. Students contributed to discussions, participated in demonstrations, and learned what it would be like to see through the eyes of different animals. The program aims to get children interested in STEM subjects from an early age.
Unity Elementary School was treated to a weather and water program organized by Science Enhancement for Science Advancement (SESA). Students were able to learn about snow, rain, thunder, and other weather patterns, as well as how it could affect them.
Students at Unity Elementary were tasked with planning and building towers made from Tinkertoys. This was through a visit with Science Enhancement for Science Advancement or SESA.
SESA Teacher in Residency, Rachel Smith adds, “It’s just a lot of fun and I love at the end when you hear one of them say wow, I really love science when I get older, I want to do something in science. That’s our goal. That’s what we want is to excite these kids about science and hopefully down the road they might choice a STEM career.”
