Neutron Knights (formally Extreme Science)
brings science to life with hands on activities and programs for all grades  

We partner with teachers in each grade level to support hands-on learning and exploration of key science concepts.  Activities range from experiments in the science lab to external presentations, all geared to
support the learning students are doing in the classroom.  Each grade level has a parent coordinator who works with teachers to support the lessons, whether it be through acquiring additional PTA funded supplies or volunteers to help with hands-on activities. For many of our students, the highlight of hands-on science is the
dissection program run for grades 3-5 (ie Extreme Science). Sign up to participate in this highly anticipated activity will open in the spring and we hope you will consider participating as a volunteer.  It’s a great way to be with your child and be a part of his/her education.
