What to Expect on a Weekly Basis:
Students will go to their meeting classroom when school ends where they will meet their GiS Instructor. Students will place their backpacks and coats away and proceed to have a snack, which is provided by the Girls in Science program. We will be mindful of dietary restrictions and allergies. After snack, students will be introduced to a research question of the day and have a lesson about one of the science topics. After the lesson, students will help clean up the classroom and get ready for dismissal. As a group, they will be escorted outside to be dismissed.
