SCIENCE IN THE SUMMER - Oceanography!
GlaxoSmithKline Science in the Summer: Every library will have a series of free, fun science workshops on Oceanography. Kids will conduct interesting investigations:

  • learn all about sharks
  • examine different types of shells and other sea life
  • discover the different aspects of the ocean, and how it compares to other water
  • create a jellyfish
  • The workshops are for children entering grades 2 and 3 (Level 1) and grades 4 through 6 (Level 2). They’re taught by certified teachers and limited to 15 per workshop. All children must be pre-registered to attend, and parents must come to the library to pre-register their child. Registration begins in branches on May 26.

    Some libraries will have four-day sessions, with 45-minute classes held each day, Tuesday - Friday. Other libraries will have two-day workshops, held in the morning or afternoon, with a 30-minute break.

    For more information, call your local library or 215-686-5372.
