Saturday Science

Hi all. Apologies to having abandoned our FB page over the last few years. A lot of things came to a halt during the pandemic including Saturday Science and any posted updates.
At this time, we still cannot confirm fall 2022 plans with respect to our program. Stay tuned for more information as any news will be posted here now that we have regained access to our page.

Good morning scientists! We hope to see you this morning at our final session of the semester! At this meeting we will continue to explore the science of the moon and other satellites. We’ll talk about exploration and will consider such questions as: robotic rover design, habitability of different moons, habitat design, and problems with communication across great distances. We will explore these and other questions about living thing things. See you soon!

The model rocket launch will take place this Saturday, Oct. 05 at the baseball field in Freeburg. There is parking across the street at the fairgrounds. Please plan to arrive by 9:30 a.m. to prep for your first launch. Hopefully, any fog will have cleared by then. Please inspect your rocket in advance and make sure it appears stable. See you there!
