Zephyrhills library hosts a silly science party

June 19, 2019 By Christine Holtzman

Dozens of children in kindergarten through fifth grade tested their knowledge and skills in science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics recently at the Dr. Seuss Silly Science Party, hosted by the Zephyrhills Public Library, 5347 Eighth St. The summer reading program, presented by Seffner resident Tanci Mishler, featured several hands-on STEAM stations, with experiments primarily based on Dr. Seuss’s books. Participants tried their hand at balancing acts, center of gravity tests, counting, measuring weight, engineering and the arts. The free event was funded by the newly formed nonprofit group, Friends of the Zephyrhills Public Library.

A group of girls at the science station test their balancing skills, by stacking items, and getting them to hold for 5 seconds. The book, ‘The Cat in the Hat,’ influenced this gravity test.

Seven-year-old Noah Purcell, of Zephyrhills, left, and his 10-year old brother, Nicholas, use a scale to determine how many plastic teddy bears it will take to balance one apple. This activity at the technology station was inspired by the Dr. Seuss book, ‘Ten Apples Up on Top.’
Six-year-old Elizabeth Ayres, of Dade City, smiles, after Tanci Mishler, of Seffner, compliments her work at the art station. Mishler, a former Hillsborough County librarian, organizes different themed programs at the library.
