SARATOGA SPRINGS — A group of 60 Saratoga Springs Fourth and Fifth Graders Gathered for Young Scientists Day on Monday, November 4 at the Saratoga Springs Holiday Inn.
At the day-long Young Scientists Day, students participated in experiments in which they explored their knowledge of chemistry and biology. Hosted by WSWHE BOCES’ Gifted and Talented STEM Integration program and Minds On, a group that encourages students to learn through day-long workshops, the children were led through the series of experiments by Lynda Blankenship, an Intel Science and Engineering mentor; and Richard and Alison Miller, both Cornell Institute biology teachers.
The event helps to engage students’ imaginations with situational, real-world tasks that will inspire further interest in the study of science.
