Marple, Newtown Libraries Hosting Science In The Summer

BROOMALL, PA – The popular kids classes Science in the Summer are back for 2017 and Delaware County kids can sign up for the classes now. The Newtown Public Library and the Marple Public Library will host the classes in early and mid July.

This year's focus will be Science of Sports with experts from the Franklin Institute administering the classes.

"Behind every professional basketball player, gymnast, swimmer, and sprinter is a team of scientists who help
athletes excel in their sport, from trainers, nutritionists and physical therapists to statisticians and equipment engineers," the program description reads.

Kids will learn about all kinds of topics through sports, including physics with bouncing balls and chemistry with creating sports drinks recipes.

The event description says participants will be around food with one activity. Those foods are coconut water, lime and lemon juice, and honey. Parents should inform program teachers of their child's food allergies.

Each class will be small, about 16 students each, so registering early is a great idea.

The classes are built out into two levels, on for kids entering second and third grades, with the other for kids entering fourth through sixth grades.

The Newtown Public Library will host the classes July 5 and July 6, according to the Science in the Summer website.

Level 1 will be held 10 a.m. to noon and level 2 will be held from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

The Marple Public Library will host the classes July 10 and July 1, as well as July 12 and July 13, according to the Science in the Summer website.

Level 1 will be held 10 a.m. to noon and level 2 will be held from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
