R-MWC's 2007 Science Day, put on by the Society of Physics Students with the help of the Education Department was a huge success. Held on Saturday, March 31, from noon to 4 pm, kids were led through six activities that included a botany scavenger hunt, a lightning demo show, a science quiz show, mini science project booths, an earthquake shake table building contest, and a boat building contest. Twice as many as last year, 150 3rd-6th graders showed up with about 100 family members in tow. The amazing 40 R-MWC student volunteers were able to educate and keep the crowd in order and on schedule. The participating children were given a t-shirt, a certificate of completion, keepsakes, snacks, and prizes were awarded. The event was sponsored by AREVA and the R-MWC Student Government Association. At the end of the day, when one volunteer asked the children assembled in the gym to "stand up if you like science," the entire crowd jumped up with a deafening cheer. Next year's science day will be held on Saturday, March 29. Information for 2008 can be found at http://physics.randolphcollege.edu/sps/sciday.
