Students at Braden River Elementary School got to experience science in action at the school’s annual Science Night.
Held Thursday, Feb. 25, the science-themed family event allowed students to get hands-on with scientific methods. Different teachers ran different booths. Students could learn how to make a structure stabile, surviving an “earthquake;” build a boat from aluminum foil and see how many pennies it could hold; or plant seeds and learn about plant care.
