Science Museum of Minnesota LP School Visit

Through a grant received from the Science Museum of Minnesota, sponsored by Flint Hills Resources, students in grades K-5 at Lester Prairie Schools were able to participate in a Science Museum outreach program.  A scientist came to Lester Prairie Schools on February 8 to share with students in grades 3-5 information and experiments on electricity.  Students in grades K-2 were able to view and learn about dinosaurs during their lyceum.  This program is part of a larger program that will allow for the 4th and 5th grades to participate in an overnight stay at the Science Museum on April 4th and 5th.  Only 15 schools have the opportunity to do this through the grant and it is an honor and great learning experience for the students at Lester Prairie Elementary School.  As part of the overnight stay, students will receive a visit to the Capitol, an omni-theater presentation, and various science related shows along with of course staying overnight with the chance to sleep next to a dinosaur, skeleton, or mummy.
