Super Science Saturday at Ballston Spa Schools

BALLSTON SPA - The elementary school Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) in Ballston Spa recently held the annual Super Science Saturday in the Wood Road Elementary School Cafetorium. Super Science Saturday consisted of multiple stations that allowed each student to perform hands-on experiments at his/her own pace throughout the event. Students, parents and staff from throughout the district also volunteered to assist with the various stations and science experiments that are available. In addition to various stations of experimentation in the physical and biological sciences, three special stations were available, including the StarLab Learning Dome, Edwards’ Vacuum demonstrations and the KAPL-NOVA scientists with hands-on experiments demonstrating the Laws of Science. This year students and their families were invited to attend a special raptor show focusing on hawks, owls and wildlife. The FIRST Lego League Robotics teams from Milton Terrace North and Wood Road Elementary Schools also provided demonstrations and discussed their plans for the upcoming tournament on February 8 in the High School.
