Newark school inaugurates Science Club for Grades 1-3

The Science Club at St. John the Baptist School in Newark, N.J., held its first meeting on March 6 with Lesia Kuziw at the helm. Amid the excitement in the classroom, the children worked on chemistry experiments, recording and analyzing data. Even though the children were of various grade levels, their thirst for knowledge and love of science united them. The eight-week program includes chemistry, biology, geology, health/fitness, astronomy, physical science and recycling. Mrs. Kuziw, who is the school's second grade teacher, began the enrichment program for students of Grades 1-3 due to the overwhelming interest exhibited by the children during science class. The school updated its science curriculum last year and, although initially the program seemed to be fairly comprehensive, it has sparked increased interest among the students.
