I am very pro-science programs in our schools. Though this is an after-school program, I have personally seen how my boys have developed a better understanding of plant growth, the importance of rain evaporation, the contributions made by insects and bugs like bees, how air is polluted in neighborhoods, etc, etc... I wish there were more of these kind of science-based programs in all schools...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
