Patton Science Club

Join the Patton Middle School Agilent Science Club, run by Unionville High School teachers and students. They are looking for approximately 20 middle school students who are interested in joining them for two more sessions, with a possible three more later in the school year. Presently, seven middle school students enjoyed the first session held earlier in November. There is no cost/fee for this program.

If you are a student who is interested in Science and building things, this may be a good fit for you. The next two dates planned/scheduled are Tuesday 9 December and Wednesday 28 January. Possible Spring dates are under consideration. The 9 December topic is the difference in force and pressure. Students will build “Deep Sea Divers”. Discussion will center around atmospheric pressure and the pressure deep sea divers experience which limits exploration to the deepest ocean depths

The logistics include a group escort and start time at the high school of 2:45 and end time of 4:15. Students can then either be picked up or take the 5:00pm  Activity bus home from the middle school (contact transportation for signing up for the bus).

Patton students can sign up in the middle school main office by providing a parent note with permission for your son/daughter to attend. Time is short, so jump on this opportunity! If you have additional questions, please contact high school science teacher Mrs. Kari Oakes - koakes@ucfsd.net
