You are Cordially Invited To A FOSS Family Science Night!

Come explore the science units that your child is learning in the classroom!

Approximately 50 parents and students attended FOSS Family Science Night. Ninety-eight percent of the students at Lazear Elementary School in Oakland Unified School District are Spanish speaking. The Bay Area Science Project supported a group of teachers to organize and participate in the event. There were seven investigations from the following modules being presented: Paper; New Plants; Solids and Liquids; Insects; Balance and Motion; Pebbles, Sand and Silt; and Magnets and Electricity. Several families joined together in one workshop for close to 40 minutes took a break and then choose a second session. The parents, grandparents and students eagerly delved into the world of scientific exploration through the FOSS Modules. What a remarkable sight to witness parents and children together immersed in inquiry learning. The evening was such a success that teachers ended the evening planning another FOSS Family Science Night at their school.
