Science in the Summer

Upper Merion Township Library and GlaxoSmithKline present Science in the Summer, July 7 - 10, 2008.

Registration: May 1 - 31, 2008

The GlaxoSmithKline Science in the Summer program is a free science education program that helps elementary school children in the greater Philadelphia area "grow into science." Comprised of four 45-minute classes given over the course of a week held in the library, the program gets kids excited about studying science with hands-on experiments.

The course is taught by a certified teacher to groups of 16 students in two age groups: children who have completed Grades 1 or 2 (Level I) and for children who have completed Grades 3, 4, or 5 (Level II).
