NA Star Party/Science Night

Have you ever looked through a telescope before? Do you have a telescope and want an opportunity to use it? Would you like to see the moon and other objects up close? Then considering joining us at McKnight Elementary on Monday, March 6 from 6:30-9:00 p.m. for an NA Star Party.  

We will have various telescopes in the driveway between McKnight Elementary and NAI. Students, family, friends, and community members are welcome to attend this event. For more information, visit the NA Star Party website. Inclement weather may postpone this event.

In addition to the Star Party, McKnight 4th grade students will have their science projects on display in the cafeteria. In learning about the Scientific Method, students asked a question and then made a hypothesis. They designed an experiment that tested their variables, made observations, graphed their data, determined if their hypothesis was valid, and then shared out their results and conclusions on their project.

We hope you can join us on this fun and educational night!
