After missing last year due to COVID-19, Bleckley Elementary math and science night returned Thursday evening. It was a collaborative effort featuring BCES staff, Middle Georgia State University faculty as well as student teachers, and BCHS Honors students.

There were stations set up in the cafeteria and gym. Some were variations of games designed to improve math skills including Sudoku. There were chances to see gravity in action, look through a microscope, see what happens when vinegar and flour are mixed, and much more.
One of the highlights was putting Mentos into a bottle of Diet Coke. It made quite the explosion. After each activity was completed, the student made sure to get their passport stamped to be entered into a drawing for a prize basket.
Math and science are often tough subjects for students. Thursday night showed that with some creativity, both could be fun.
