Join us on October 6th for the third annual 4-H National Youth Science Day, where youth across the nation examine one of the most important issues facing our nation today—water quality. These young scientists will discover and explore the powerful effects of carbon dioxide on our natural water sources in 4-H2O, the 2010 National Science Experiment.
Resources Are Now Available Online
You can find everything you need to participate in 4-H National Youth Science Day online at www.4-H.org/NYSD . The site provides all the tools you will need to begin a comprehensive scientific exploration and plan an exciting science event in your community.
Developed in conjunction with North Carolina Cooperative Extension and North Carolina A&T State University, the experiment is designed to spark an early youth interest in science—all part of 4-H’s bold goal to engage a million new young people in science, engineering, technology and applied math programs by 2013.
