Third-graders from Wading River School recently took part in a
stimulating field trip to Brookhaven National Laboratory Science
Learning Center.
The interactive exhibits and hands-on opportunities helped the students
connect to cutting-edge science, technology, engineering and mathematics
topics, an extension of their classroom learning.
Focused on the physical sciences, the inquiry-based learning environment
included exhibits on sound waves, engineering concepts and an air
cannon where students learned that air has mass and takes up space,
among other opportunities for them to investigate and explore.
