Super Science Saturdays: Provided by Cool-ology for grades K-4

Saturdays

Saturday, October 1

10:00 am - 11:00 am

Join us for a series of INTERACTIVE LABS provided by Cool-ology. The name of the game is learning by doing and this fall we are putting this theory to test by sharing scientific topics in a fun and approachable way. Once a month we will meet to dive into scientific topics but also get “a little” dirty in the process.

Lab Topics Include:
September: Fabulous Flight
October: Magical Potions aka Mixtures
November: Super Slime

Space is limited & a waiting list will open when each event is full. Please be respectful of limited space & only sign up for events you can attend. We can’t wait to see you soon! To sign up for this and other children’s events, visit our Youth Services Events Sign Up Page Here.

Introduction to Classical Latin (for grade 7-adult)

Every Saturday

Saturday, October 1

11:00 am - 12:00 pm

The study of classical Latin exercises memory, increases English vocabulary, and broadens general knowledge. Using the textbook Ecce Romani I, participants will learn Latin vocabulary, English vocabulary derived from Latin, Latin and English grammar, translation skills, and ancient Roman geography, history, daily life, and mythology. Latin abbreviations and phrases used in English, such as e.g., A.D., et al., ad hoc, status quo, and tempus fugit, will be featured on a regular basis. Participants will need to obtain a copy of the 2^nd, 3^rd, or 4^th edition of Ecce Romani I. A complimentary copy of the text will be provided as long as the supply lasts. Ecce Romani is a reading-based program and this high school-based curriculum is presented in English with some conversational phrases in Latin.

Taught by Susan Craig.
