The Philbrick Science Showcase
Flynn, Erin
Science and Children, v45 n4 p40-44 Dec 2007
The annual Philbrick Science Showcase is a family event that celebrates students' science learning and highlights an ongoing partnership with the Boston Nature Center, a Massachusetts Audubon Society sanctuary within walking distance of the Philbrick school. At least twice a year, students visit the Nature Center to extend the science curriculum, connect with nature, and foster environmental stewardship. And, once a year, the Nature Center hosts the school's Science Showcase, an overview of which is detailed in this article. (Contains 1 figure and 1 resource.)
