Girl Scout Night at SMU

On March 11, 2010 the Physics Club and Chemistry Club hosted two Girl Scout Troops to assist them in earning the Science Wonders Try-It Badge. The professors and college students planned an array of science experiments and demonstrations. Fifteen 2nd and 3rd grade girls learned through hands-on activities about recycling paper, magnetism, static electricity, and the formation of crystals. There were also three exciting demonstrations: how a stir plate works, Elephant’s toothpaste, and the magnetism flyer. A special thanks to Professor Bodsgard, Father Nienaber, and Professor Wanberg and the following students: Jen Koezly, Brian Kasel, Tim McDonald, Renee Custer, Tom Briese, and Mary Glenski.
