Middle School Science Club

Science Club is open to all sixth grade students.  The club provides an avenue through which members may explore facets of science beyond the classroom.  It seeks to encourage participation in science related activities and to instill values that reflect appreciation and understanding of science as it relates to life.  The goal of our club is to develop leadership, responsibility, and scientific awareness.  Our objectives will be accomplished through the interaction of the club members, club sponsor, other middle school students, and the community.  All members work as a team to accomplish all of our goals and objectives.  Currently, students will be exposed to various scientific disciplines in chemistry, physics,  ecology, and energy technology.  A bank of experiments will be performed in my lab and out in the field.  Students will also have opportunities to discover disciplines of their choice.

We meet the first and last Tuesday of each month starting in January.  We will start promptly at  2:25 p.m. in Room # 1213 (Regular pick-up time will be at 3:30 outside back door of  Bates building, next to new basketball court)..  All members of the Science Club are expected to attend ALL regularly scheduled meetings.  Members cannot have more than 3 unexcused absences from meetings.  Excused absences include tutorials, absences from school, athletic practice or games (a signed note from parent or a call must be given to Mr. Oey before missed meeting).  If you have any questions or concerns I can be reached at (919) 274-1653.

Members must maintain C average grades in EVERY class to remain active.  Any member, who fails to do this, will be put on probation.

Members may be removed from the club by the sponsor, Mr. Oey for interfering with the positive direction of the club or for unacceptable conduct at any meeting or activity.

1/12, 1/26, 2/02, 2/23, 3/2, 3/23, 4/13, and 4/27
