Veritas Teens Study Science

Adapted from Veritas View newsletter spring 2019

In mid-March the teens at Veritas began to study science with the help of Roberta Bustin. Roberta taught chemistry in college and worked as a NASA scientist in the summers. Her first lesson included information on space and each teen was able to set off their own rocket. They were even able to hold an authentic space shuttle tile and see how it was insulated. Roberta will continue this series once a week for several months, leading the class in discussions and experiments in ecology and chemistry.
