MCS Science Club

The Morris Central School Science Club is open to anyone in grades 7-12. There is no obligation, you come and join in when you can! We have events before school, after school and even occasionally during lunch!

Below is a list of events for each month, check back, the schedule is updated often!


November: Exploding Pumpkins!

During the week of November 14-18, stop by the MCS lobby and guess how many rubber bands it will take to explode a pumpkin and a chance to win an apple pie.


Then join the MCS Science Club at 8:15 am on Tuesday November 22, as we fill our pumpkin with rubber bands, and watch it explode due to force!
