2006

On April 20, 2006, the 5th annual ScienceFest took place at the Oklahoma City Zoo. It was a day of interactive science and environmental activities involving 4,500 fourth and fifth grade students from across the state. These students represented over 90 different schools or homeschools and 260 teachers. ScienceFest was designed to promote scientific interest and exposed students to science in a fun and different setting. Twenty agencies and organizations participated with activity stations this year.

The event was comprised of 23 activity stations and a Fins and Feathers Show for the classes to attend. Fins and Feathers was specially scripted to accomplish the ScienceFest mission. The activity stations hosted groups of students and presented instruction and information on their specific topic. Activity stations represented many disciplines of science including recycling, energy, and pollution. Examples of alternative fueled vehicles were also on location to view.
