PLANTING SEEDS OF SCIENCE STUDENT IMMERSION DAY!!! Select Kettle Moraine 6th-grade students attended Science Immersion Day at the UW-Whitewater Rock County campus in Janesville. Sponsored by SLALN and UW-Whitewater, this interactive event gave students the chance to explore hands-on applications in environmental science, engineering, and creative problem-solving. Throughout the morning, students rotated through engaging sessions where they engaged directly with STEM concepts, from analyzing local ecosystems during a guided prairie walk to making wildflower seed bombs to support local plant life.
The excitement continued into the engineering and design challenges. In the Destination Imagination session, students put their resourcefulness to the test by building creative structures including a bridge spanning over a record-tall duck tower nicknamed "King Duck." The Engineering session capped off the day with hands-on physics and mechanics, featuring rope-weaving, marshmallow catapults, and atmospheric pressure demonstrations using imploding tin cans. The day successfully sparked student curiosity and inspired interest in future STEM careers like wildlife biology and product design.
