Shake up a flask of fun in the lab and become a junior chemist! Learn to recognize chemical reactions and mix up a few reactive ingredients for some sensational results. Check out the colors of chemistry with the power of pH paper and create a stopper-popping reaction. Probe the properties of light and discover some [...]
Step into the shoes of a detective — uncover the science involved in evidence gathering and analysis. Student will use the powers of observations and investigative gear to find, collect and analyze evidence. Students also become a super-spy. They build binoculars; discover what it takes to keep things safe and how technology works in the [...]
From our Earth's atmosphere to the outer reaches of our solar system, this hands-on program for children sends them on a quest for exploration! Comets, planets, stars and more are all waiting to be discovered. Learn about the four forces of flight, the challenges of space travel, and even participate in a rocket launch! When [...]
In Shockingly Sticky Science, students will learn Watts-Up with electricity and build their own static tubes, learn the marvels of magnets as they construct their own Magnet Maze, and get sticky with polymers (a.k.a. slime)! We will create our own soda pop and as a grand finale students will learn all about heat and get [...]
This class is about hands-on fun and exercising our creativity. Kids will be playing with their food…after making them. They will be making cakes, burgers and other favorite foods using modeling clay. They will make flower arrangements inspired by the artist, Georgia O’Keefe. They will make pop-up cards that Hallmark would be envious of. Finally, the kids will put on a puppet show using puppets they design and create.
People have been playing with chemistry for thousands of years, by stirring things together and boiling concoctions. Students will walk the path of early chemists by making perfumes, soap, chemical batteries and synthetic dyes. Students in this class will also conduct experiments to see evaporation, carbonation and oxidation in action. When and Where This Class [...]
Kids will have a chance to design and build a variety of engineering projects to strengthen their creativity and problem-solving skills. Projects include cardboard tube suspension bridge, clothes hanger balance scale, drinking straw roller coasters, shoe box foosball game and recycled bottle cars. As the class progresses, the students are given more leeway to design [...]
This class can be taken more than once. Students build different robot models and learn different math skills each week. Lego WeDo Robotics - Using the LEGO® Education WeDo™ Robotics Construction Set, the students are introduced to simple robotics through building models, attaching sensors and motors, and using a computer to program the model’s behavior. [...]
Scratch Jr is an introductory programming language that enables youngsters to create their own interactive stories and games. Children snap together graphical programming blocks to make characters move, jump, dance, and sing. Children can modify characters in the paint editor, add their own voices and sounds, even insert photos of themselves — then use the [...]
