Science theme of week GRAND BEND - From April 10 to 14 Grand Bend Public School students wcre involved in a variety of quarter day sessions having a scientific basis for presentation. The week began Monday morning with the students viewing a one to two hour National Geographic vid- eo in the classrooms. The subject of the video served as a catalyst causing students to think about their fragile earth. The first six sessions took place from Monday at 1 p.m. to Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. During these time pe- riods each group of students, named for a Zodiac sign, spent 60 to 70 minutes studying a particular sub- ject before moving on ao thc next session. For Wednesday morning two tours had been arranged. Hayter Turkcy Farms in Dash- wood was visited by the K-4 stu- dents and thc Lake Huron water Supply Station was visited by the Grade 5-8 students.
