Home schooled students to gain from laboratory
exercises
COLUMBUS, Miss. -- Mississippi University for Women is offering home
schooled students an opportunity to learn practical science in the
laboratories.
The studies will expose students to basic skills and help familiarize
them with different laboratory equipment used in the Division of Science
and Mathematics.
Dr. Marty Harvill, assistant professor of biology, who also is in
charge of the program, hopes it will be an annual activity. "If you are a
student who likes to go out on discovery trips this is an event for you."
This exercise is open to seventh to eighth grade level home schooled
students under the supervision of a science faculty member. The
opportunity will include educational as well as fun activities.
The program is scheduled to start Monday, June 23 from 1p.m. to 4 p.m.
at the Plymouth Bluff Center. Application forms and directions to the
venue can be found at the following address:
