WXXI and Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC) present the seventh annual 60 Second Science Saturday with host Miss Teresa on September 29, 2007 from 12:00 - 3:00 pm. at the Eisenhart Auditorium at the RMSC, 657 East Avenue. This much-anticipated free family hands-on science event features science explorations from the popular 60 Second Science TV segments, which air weekdays on WXXI-TV 21 (cable 11) between the station's regularly scheduled children's programming. At this year's event Miss Teresa, the host of 60 Second Science, and her team of science volunteers will assist families as they explore the wonders of nature, chemistry, physics and more. Some of the fun activities include: Making Ice Cream, Creating Structures, Moving Molecules, Air Power, Exploring Magnets and Making a Fossil Mold & Cast. New additions include Dissecting Fruits & Seeds, Exploring Levers and participatory "Giant Lever" shows by RMSC Players.

60 Second Science Saturday celebrates the fun of science with families and children PreK through 3rd grade. The event fosters children's natural curiosity and helps parents/caregivers see first-hand how to create science rich inquiry-based learning environments that support children's success in school and life. The 60 Second Science TV segments run one minute in length and demonstrate hands-on science exploration with "Miss Teresa" and three local children. The spots are intended to spark interest and motivation in young viewers, parents and caregivers to try the activities at home. Miss Teresa's demonstration of the activities
with children illustrates how to involve children in the activities,
while stimulating children's curiosity, thinking, problem-solving and
motivation to learn more. 60 Second Science demonstrate quick, easy
science activities that can be replicated with household and
recyclable materials. 60 Second Science airs weekdays on WXXI-TV 21 (cable 11), WXXI's digital channel ThinkBright (cable 433/DT 21.3), the City of Rochester's City 12, and on stations in more than 55 cities in the
United States.
