 |  | Through the course of these Brand New classes in the Science of Discovery series, children will discover the wonderful world of animals— above and below water! Your Mad Scientist will feel the force of energy, the pull of gravity, and the might of motion in three exciting physics explorations. They will also take a creative look at the world of art through a scientist's eyes, and experiment with robots and robotics, building a robot's hand that they can take home!
Descriptions of the classes below:
• ENERGY BURST! - Explore the energy of motion (potential versus kinetic energy), and how energy can be conserved. Build a rubber band-powered rattlesnake egg to help learn all about energy - and scare your friends.
• ART OF SCIENCE - Get your left and right brains working together and discover the links between science and art. Mix and separate colors, uncover art forgeries, investigate friction. Discover that science is an important part of art, and make you own distorted image to take home.
• ALL ABOUT ANIMALS - Feathers, fins, fur and more! Explore the animal kingdom and learn about the habitats, anatomy and life cycles of your favorite creatures. Make your own animal track to take home, experiment with camouflage and explore the amazing - and sometimes strange - sounds that animals make.
• LIFE IN THE SEA - What is life like under the ocean's surface? What kind of animals and plants are found in the sea? Examine and investigate starfish, sea urchins and shells. Learn about buoyancy and adaptation. Make your own Cartesian diver, and find out what humans must do in order to explore the deep, dark depths of our planet's oceans.
• GREAT GRAVITY - Children will have the opportunity to learn more about the force of gravity in this class. They will conduct hands on experiments that will provide the opportunity to explore the force of gravity, the center of gravity and even to defy gravity. Make your very own DaVinci Parachute to take home.
• MOVING MOTION - Learn all about the forces behind the movement of planes, trains and automobiles. Students will perform a series of experiments to learn more about friction, inertia, and other forces that affect the way things move. Throughout the class the children will add to their very own take home inertia kit to continue experimenting at home.
• RADICAL ROBOTS(2 Classes) - Build your very own robot hand to take home in these two classes that focus on technology. Explore how robots can be used to make our lives easier. Experiment with robots that can do some extraordinary tasks, infrared robots, robotic arms and even soccer playing robots.
* Order of Classes May Vary
** 2 of the 8 classes listed will not be held in a 6 week program.
