Snapology of Atlantic County Offering On-Line STEAM Classes

Snapology of Atlantic County, a non-profit organization that provides after-school classes at ACS, is offering new online STEAM classes for students who must remain at home in response to the COVID-19 virus pandemic. The first class will begin Monday, March 23.

“It’s a way for the students at home to see their friends and still learn some STEAM concepts,” said Scott Stone, a certified teacher who works with Snapology. The cost of the class that begins March 23, entitled “Science of Superpowers,” is $10 and is geared to children ages 5 to 12.

Come to the Middle School Science Fair – Friday, March 6

Is the five-second rule true? What is the effect of microwaves on plant growth? What are the different densities of water? The answers to these and other STEM-focused questions will be explored in middle school science projects at the ACS Science Fair on Friday, March 6 in the gym from 4:00-6:00 p.m. ACS families are invited to attend and tour the 50 science projects that will be on display.

The students began developing their science fair projects in November, which is part of their science grade. The 6th and 7th graders have been working in pairs and 8th graders have created their individual projects.

Middle School science teacher Celine Melody said a panel of judges will examine each of the projects during the Science Fair and select the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners from each class.
