Cullins Elementary students enjoy Science Night

(ROCKWALL, TX — March 25, 2016) Several Cullins-Lake Pointe Elementary students and their families joined the Cullins Elementary PTA for a night of family fun and hands-on science during Perot Science Night for the CLP families.  The Perot Museum came to Cullins and brought several hands-on stations focused on nano-science.  The stations focused on family learning and were an exciting way to explore alternative energy, understand the carbon cycle, investigate the microscopic world of plants with a digital microscope and discover the abundant energy around us.  The CORE Center of Rockwall also brought several hands-on activities for the students.  Families enjoyed learning about how a drone and Sphero work!
