HOOKED ON SCIENCE BUZZ
"Jason did a fantastic job interacting with our students. He kept their attention by using behavior strategies along with doing science experiments that they have never seen before. The fire on the table was a huge hit! He talked about science content that they are currently working on in class while incorporating STEM careers. Jason was very affordable and well worth the price for all that he brought to our school. We will definitely have him again at our school."

NEW HOW TO PREDICT A WINTER WITH A WOOLLY WORM
The "woolly worm" or woolly bear caterpillar is known for its ability to forecast winter weather.
- More Brown than Black = MILDER WINTER
- More Black than Brown = HARSHER WINTER
HOOKED ON SCIENCE EXTRA
How the Woolly Bear Caterpillar Became “Famous”
- In the fall of 1948, Dr. C.H. Curran, curator of insects at the American Museum of Natural History, in New York City, took his wife 40 miles north of the city to Bear Mountain State Park to look at woolly bear caterpillars.
- Dr. Curran collected as many caterpillars as he could in a day, determined the average number of reddish-brown segments, and forecasted the coming winter weather through a reporter friend at The New York Herald Tribune.
- Dr. Curran’s experiment, which he continued over the next eight years, attempted to prove scientifically, a weather rule of thumb, that was as old as the hills around Bear Mountain, making the woolly worm one of the most recognizable caterpillars in North America.

HOOKED ON SCIENCE BUZZ
"Jason, aka Mr. Science, was so great for our kiddos! Our organization ran four summer camps in Western New York this year, and Jason zoomed in and was able to connect with all four of our sites at the same time, providing programming for 126 kids! At first, there was some technical difficulties on our end, but Jason was understanding and patient, and let our time start 15 minutes late when everyone was able to log on. The kids were all engaged, and through the bags of experiments he sent ahead of time, were able to do hands-on activities even in a virtual environment. I would definitely recommend Jason's program to any group, either in person or virtual, looking for engaging and enlightening STEM education!"
