Foothill Elementary hosts science day

Foothill Elementary had what administrators believe is the school's first ever Science Day on Wednesday. Students had a chance to choose three different sessions of hands-on activities that addressed the Next Generation Science Standards, said Principal Lauren Park.

"Teachers presented science experiments in chemistry, botany, zoology, physiology, geology, and physics," she said in an email. "Students experimented on chemical changes, how electricity turns on light bulbs, extracting periodic table iron from food, how rate and time affects distance, how the human taste buds are affected, and much more!"

Judging by the photos  and Park's enthusiasm -- science day was really special. "Our teachers took the bold step to be innovative in coordinating the best experience for our students."
