Welcome fellow science enthusiasts! Let's Talk about Science! (Social Club) meets once a week for 4 weeks to discuss the scientific questions weighing on our minds. This club is learner driven. As lead scientist, I will start each meeting with the club agenda, which will consist of any previous business and give an opportunity for new business to ensure each learner has an opportunity to ask their questions and keep our meetings organized. The topics of discussion are not just limited to questions. Learners can shared cool and exciting science facts, videos, and experiences that they had. Examples of topics discussed during a meeting includes but is not limited to: ▪︎ Biology □ How are genes predicted? ▪︎ Zoology □ What is the purpose of a Stink Bug? ▪︎ Chemistry □ Do neutrons have a purpose? ▪︎ Physics □ Why is the unit for a magnetic field called Tesla? ▪︎College Science Experience □ What is college science like?
