## About

A hands-on science hour for homeschooled teens in the Princess Anne Meeting Room at Princess Anne Area Library. Students learn about density and how to make their own thermometer, working through the experiments themselves rather than watching a demonstration. The library provides all materials. The session is for ages 12 to 18, which makes it suitable for middle and high school homeschool students who want a group lab session. It runs one hour on a Wednesday afternoon. It is free, but registration is required through the library's event page, so book a place before the day.
