Announcing the 2010 National Science Experiment: 4-H2O

Join us on October 6th for the third annual 4-H National Youth Science Day, where youth across the nation examine one of the most important issues facing our nation today—water quality. These young scientists will discover and explore the powerful effects of carbon dioxide on our natural water sources in 4-H2O, the 2010 National Science Experiment.

Developed in conjunction with North Carolina Cooperative Extension and North Carolina A&T State University, the experiment is designed to spark an early youth interest in science—all part of 4-H's bold goal to engage a million new young people in science, engineering, technology and applied math programs by 2013.
