Cheney Elementary Hands-on Science Lesson

In 2006 Exploding Bacon partnered with Chick Fil A and Cheney Elementary by making science exciting for the third grade.  Once a month our students would visit the school and present a hands-on science lesson. For instance one month we taught them Physics party tricks, how to pull a tablecloth out from under a set table using inertia.

Fun fact:

Little did they know at the time, that insipring kid’s with science at a Chick Fil A would lead to so many amazing projects, but this was the program that would evolve to become Exploding Science, Summer Camps, the Exploding Science Resource Book, and eventually the Spark Science Kit program.

Girl Scout Demo

Bacon participated in “Discovery Days” sponsored by Society of Women Engineers. It was a full day event held at the east campus of Valencia Community College. Our team took the robot and showed the girls how it worked and answered questions.
