25th Science Night
What:
College of the Redwoods will present its 25th Science Night on Friday, Oct. 22 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
This educational and fun evening of free activities will be held on the CR Eureka campus in the Life Science, Physical Science, Creative Arts and Applied Technology buildings.
Science Night offers fun for all ages and includes demonstrations, hands-on activities, experiments, and lectures—most presented by CR faculty—on many facets of math, science, health, and technology.
From its humble beginnings 27 years ago, Science Night at the College of the Redwoods has grown into a campus-wide event, stretching from “Botanical Watercolors” in the Creative Arts building, all the way to “Look Inside a Tree” in the Applied Science building. In between there is a petting zoo and pumpkin patch, “Weapons of Math Instruction” the pumpkin catapult/trebuchet behind the Physical Science building, and dinner faire for families in the campus Cafeteria.
There are activities for curious scientists of all ages with lots of “hands-on” activities for kids. Come see “Howling Gummi Bears,” the “Chemical Magic Show,” “Bubble Magic”, or look into outer space at the Telescope Observatory. There will also be a panel discussion on the local food movement with the authors of CR/HSU’s book of the year: “Plenty” in room LS102.
Participants in Science Night will be able to meet faculty, staff, and students, visit classrooms and labs, participate in activities, and view demonstrations.
Parking is free, and there is no admission charge. Food and refreshments will be available for purchase in the CR Dining Hall.
