The fun side of math and science.

Students were given a passport where they received a stamp upon completing a station. If they came to this table with a full set of stamps, these students from the Middle Georgia State education program would give them a prize.


Dice were being rolled. Children were learning about honeybees. One station allowed for the making of "exploding art." What was it? The annual math and science night at Bleckley Elementary.

Jacob Byram explains his "make a buck" game to a student.


Thursday marked the eighth straight night elementary school students could come and experience the fun side of math and science. Stations were set up in the lunchroom, gym, and a few outback. Activities included making an egg float, a numbers based game of Twister, and making a bird seed feeder with a pine cone.

Students used water and salt to make eggs float.


While BCES faculty manned some of the stations, they had plenty of help. Mike Brannon and Brian Wynne along with honors students from BCHS also helped. Several faculty and students from Middle Georgia State University also volunteered their time. Bleckley Elementary thanks both groups for their assistance.

Cindy Wimberly was one of the BCES teachers working Thursday.


Though the night officially ended at 7, there were still students wanting to try out various activities. As parents took digital surveys on the evening, it's safe bet that the reports came back positive.

Middle Georgia State Biology Professor Clint Ready gave a presentation on honeybees.


BCHS teacher Mike Brannon had several scientific questions posed at his table.


The goal here was to "dance" by stepping on the answer to the math problem.


Though it was dark, pine cones were rolled in peanut butter and coated with bird seed.
