Week Three-Summer Enrichment!

Week three focused on chemistry getting started with Dr. Caran & Casey from the JMU Chemistry Department spending the day conducting demonstrations. Dr. Caran hosts WHS students during the year at the Take a Peek Day.  Some of the students met Casey doing demonstrations at the Math Conference for Young Women in the Spring on JMU's campus at the College of Education.

After the science, comes more science... but this was fun, cold and eatable!
