STUDENT SCIENCE EXPO NEEDS VOLUNTEERS

With funding from Soroptomist International of South Lake Tahoe, Lake Tahoe Unified School District is partnering with UC Davis TERC to bring Science Expo to South Lake Tahoe. In addition to the five days of Science Expo at the UC Davis Tahoe Science Center on the North Shore March 14-18, there will be three additional days of Science Expo March 30 through April 1 at Lake Tahoe Community College.



The Science Expo experience is designed to guide third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade students through hands-on scientific investigations and experiments. This year’s theme is physical science, with topics including energy, forces and motion, and properties of matter.

Both the North Lake Tahoe and South Lake Tahoe science expos are happening soon and volunteers are needed to help facilitate activities at both locations. Training is provided and no science experience is needed.
