HATTERDAYS
an academic alternative to SATURDAYS
In response to the many requests that have been made throughout the years, we are now in our 6th year of offering HATS ("Hatterdays") during the school year. We will offer an array of classes on Saturday mornings. We look forward to seeing you! Mark your calendar!

January 28th Course Descriptions
JAN-BER Magic School Bus – RAINBOWS
"Can you imagine a world without color? What gives things their color? Come discover the secret why we only see green on a lucky shamrock or red on a yummy apple, as the Magic School Bus makes a Rainbow. Be ready to experiment with
a little prism magic for our own rainbow. As Ms. Frizzle would say, "Buckle up, class, and prepare for a colorful experience!"
BERETS (Grades K-2)
JAN-101 ELECTRICITY
It’s ELECTRIFYING! You’ll get a “real charge” out of this Hatterdays program. Students will be flowing with excitement as they learn about series and parallel circuits, switches, lights, electromagnets, and the flow of electrons. You’ll be shocked to learn about static electricity with a Van de Graaf Generator! Join us for a fun filled, action packed day of hands on activities!
Grades 3-5
JAN -102 FORENSIC SCIENCE -FINGERPRINTING
They are unique! Did you know that no two fingerprints are alike? In this class you will acquire knowledge of
the history, types and classification of fingerprint patterns. You will learn how to make your own ten-print
card and will be able to identify your prints as well as those of a friend. We will investigate different
methods of visualizing, enhancing, collecting, preserving, identifying, and comparing fingerprints found at a crime scene.
Grades 6-8
JAN-103 Advanced Biology- Reproduction of Cells: MITOSIS and MEIOSIS
Have you ever watched an injury heal and wonder where the new cells come from, or marvel and the changes in a few
short months as you watched a baby grow and develop? Cell growth and division is occurring every
day in every part of our bodies. This class will reinforce the concepts of the Advanced Placement (AP) Biology lab
#3: Mitosis and Meiosis. Students will study the microscopic world of cells through hands-on experiments and
activities where they will prepare their own slides of growing cells and simulate the processes of mitosis and meiosis.
This class supports the Advanced Placement (AP) Biology curriculum from the College
Board. Although it is aimed at supporting students in the AP Biology class, those not yet enrolled are
welcomed to participate.
Grades 9-12
