on
Sunday, March 30, 2008
between 1:00 pm and 2:00 pm

Chicago and Chicago suburban students must learn more science and math, and their parents must take charge of the science and math education that their children receive. The "Wonders of Science Show" helps parents to make science and math fun and important for their 2nd- through 7th-grade students.

Award-winning high school chemistry teachers will present a fast-paced series of demonstrations on chemical and physical phenomena that will involve your young scientists mentally and, at times, physically! Portions of this show have been seen on many national television broadcasts including Inside Edition, CBS News with Charles Kuralt, David Letterman and many more.

The Black Star Project encourages fathers, stepfathers, foster fathers, grandfathers, uncles, brothers, godfathers, cousins, and other male caregivers to take their children to this show to help them develop a greater appreciation for science, math and nature.
