GA Participates in Science on the Parkway

Middle School teacher and science department coordinator Rollie Wakeman along with the support of middle school students Olivia Negro and Talia Petras, and upper school students Robert Greenawalt, Emily Irwin, and Joe Peters, represented GA in Philadlephia's celebration of the science event Science on the Parkway.  Nearly 150 tents were set up along the central artery leading from the Art Museum to Center City manned by area schools and universities.  A festival for all ages, this Franklin Institute sponsored event showcased our regions rich work in the sciences.  Oliva Negro described the science activities that she and others hosted in GA's tent,  " We had 4 different activities- balancing 12 nails on 1 nail, how many drops of water can you get on one penny, how to get a paper clip to float on water, and we made a tin foil boat to see how many pennies it could carry before sinking." She was quick to add that she had a great time experiencing  the festival with her sister, GA alum, Natalie Negro '09 who was also on hand for the festivities.
