K–12 Educators Can Earn Rave Reviews for Science Nights with a New Step-by-Step Guide from NSTA

ARLINGTON, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/K12?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#K12lt;/agt;–Staging
Family Science Nights helps teachers at all grade levels
create informal learning environments that are fun for everyone. Written
by teaching pros with years of experience directing science nights, the
new NSTA
Press book guides readers from the earliest planning stages to
post-production. Topics include funding, supplies, safety, costumes, and
snacks.


The book shows that family science nights can bring a community together
while fostering a positive attitude about science and science education.
Suggested activities range from creating color slime to competing in a
Bubble Olympics. The activities provide learners with quality
experiences they can use to construct important knowledge later, to
discover an interesting new area of science, or to re-engage with
forgotten content.


Staging Family Science Nights is designed to be a crowd-pleaser,
whether teachers are looking for new ideas for an established event or
planning their first one. The book can also be used by scout troops,
homeschoolers, libraries, summer camps, and museums. It’s also flexible
enough to be used by students of all ages. Adults will enjoy the science
nights, too!
