Renaissance Festival: Chemistry Week Field Trip
The American Chemical Society (ACS) organizes National Chemistry Week each year to encourage schools and the local community, “to promote the value of chemistry in everyday life” This year’s Chemistry Week will run from October 20th - 24th. At Phillip O. Berry we will kick off Chemistry Week by attending the Annual Carolina Renassance Festival and Artisan Marketplace on Thursday, October 16th in Huntersville, NC. This will be a great interdisciplinary educational experience where students will be able to see how Chemistry impacted the Renaissance era and vice versa. Visit the festival’s website to learn more information: http://www.royalfaires.com/carolina/
This opportunity is open to students who are currently enrolled in American History or Chemistry. Any student who wishes to attend must receive a recommendation from each teacher, complete the “Before Field Trip” portion of the field trip assignment, and submit signed parental permission forms. Only 16 students will be able to attend and will be seleted on a first come first serve basis. The deadline to submit the assignment is Monday, October 13th.
Students will need to bring a bag lunch or money ($5-$10) to purchase lunch. Please note that the festival does not allow outside food to be brought in; therefore, bagged lunches will have to remain on the bus until lunch time.
Students will meet in the cafeteria at 7:45am to depart for the festival. We will depart from the festival at 1:00pm and should return no later than 1:45pm.
Student Expectations:
Return all signed permission slips to Mrs. Ullah’s Office in room 354 no later than Monday, October 13, 2014. You will be notified if you were among the first 16 students to be selected to attend.
To receive the pre-field trip assignment to be eligible to attend you must see your Chemistry teacher. You will receive a print out of the assignment and requirements. All pre-work is due by Friday October 2.
