Cornell Cooperative Extension, CCE, has been providing enrichment programs designed for 3rd-5th grade and 6th-8th grade.
Students in the 6th grade have been participating in a 4 -H life science enrichment provided by CCE of Steuben county. Their focus was the human body and what makes our heart rates increase, the heart rates of animals compared to their body size, what materials hold heat and how to keep our bodies healthy. The photos demonstrate students making their own granola bars utilizing proteins, wheat, carbohydrates and fruits to add flavors.

This was a great program. Currently, the 6th-8th graders are in a photography enrichment on Thursdays composed of learning the parts of a camera, understanding different angles, positions and types of photographs. Pictures will be posted soon of students in action and their projects!
Students in grades 3rd-5th are participating in an in-touch 4-H life science enrichment on Tuesdays. They are began with a science experiment determining which material could hold the most weight in pennies. They proposed hypothesis questions before beginning the experiment and tested it four times. The students had a blast with this one and they got to eat a marshmallow at the end!
