> Hello all!
>  
> I am writing hoping that someone can help me brainstorm an idea for a
> whole school science activity.  Our middle school does an activity
> period once a month to help unify the school, give students a common
> experience, and possibly create a little friendly competition.  It is
> a 30-40 period and the science dept. has been assigned the month of
> April.  The activity should ideally involve all students (broken into
> classes of about 25 for a total of 600 students), occupy the whole
> time, involve minimal teacher guidance (it is a period of time that is
> considered supervisory and not teaching according to our contract and
> several teachers will not participate if there is work involved). 
> Assemblies are also a possibility. 
>  
> I need to try and come up with an idea for this period of time.  We
> can't afford materials for all 600 students and a minimal use of paper
> would be good considering it is Arbor Day and Earth Day that month and
> we hope to center our idea around these topics.  I was hoping someone
> had heard of or even participated in an activity that might be
> appropriate for our school.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

> Thanks for your help!
