Our educational programs are conducted during each of our monthly 4-H Club meetings. The goal for this year’s effort is: Through participating in this series of SET Science, Engineering and Technology or SET lessons, students will increase literacy and engage in improving their knowledge, skills and abilities in science, engineering and technology.
Each lesson will address specific grade level expectations that hopefully will be helpful in standardized testing. The list of monthly topics is listed below. See the attached file for additional information on standardized testing expectations addressed for each topic.
