The Fleet Science Center welcomes the new school year with an Educator Open House on Thursday, September 14. This inspiring evening at the Fleet Science Center invites all San Diego County educators to explore the galleries, including the wildly popular The Worst-Case Scenario: Survival Experience, engage in professional development opportunities, get creative in the Fleet’s makerspace Studio X, and importantly, preview the Fleet’s latest addition to its very in-demand Don’t Try This At Home science assembly show, Scientific Serenade. Scientific Serenade, suitable for grades kindergarten through six, focuses on sound waves, exploring the relationships between pitch and frequency, amplitude and volume, and speed and intensity. Fleet education professionals lead an investigation and visualization of sound through participants’ eyes and ears in this high-energy, louder-than-life show. Students (and educators) can: Explore the components of sound and how they all combine to create the beautiful (and not-so-beautiful) sounds that we hear every day. Experience the use of a wide array of items in engaging experiments to experience sound in a whole new way. Hear that this show is simply too loud to try at home! Educators also will get a chance to connect with each other as well as members of the Fleet education department about resources, offerings and special events that can make their classroom and school activities even more engaging. Educators are welcome to bring up to two guests, including children. Light refreshments will be served. The Fleet Science Center’s myriad education offerings are just one more way the Fleet fulfills its mission of connecting everyone in San Diego to the power of science.
