LPS Kids Day

L.P.S. Kids Day

Block and Bridle held Kid’s Day at the 22nd Annual Zoetis LPS GSK District Science Fair on Thursday, March 2, 2017. This event was held at the Lancaster Event Center and ran from 4-8pm. Fifth through eighth grade students participated in the science fair while their families and the rest of the community were invited to come join them in looking at the other exhibits and check out booths and activities provided by various groups. Block and Bridle members lead an activity that walked individuals through the ingredients of a hamburger including: wheat hamburger buns, pickles, lettuce, cheese, bacon, beef patty, tomatoes and ketchup. The idea was to explain how these ingredients start off on a farm and how they make it to an individual’s plate. At the end of the activity, individuals were asked where they were from and if they could point it out on a map that showed where different agriculture products were produced throughout the state. This served as an excellent learning tool as individuals were able to compare the products produced in Lancaster County to the other counties in the state. The Block and Bridle members also set up the plinko board and allowed individuals to drop a coin and answer some questions about animal agriculture. As always, the science fair served as a wonderful way to educate numerous individuals about animal agriculture and get students excited about where their food comes from!
