Workshop: Dry Ice 
**Newly Correlated to Hawaii State Standards**
Grade: K-6
Total Duration: 60 min
Vocabulary: Matter, Solid, Liquid, Gas, Molecules, Carbon Dioxide, Evaporation, Sublimation, Condensation
Description/Educational Objectives: Studens will learn both how and why matter changes between the different states and develop a good understanding of matter's elementary physical principles. The class warms up with a molecular movement exercise to learn about the 3 states of matter, then will observe melted and resolidified metal - a shift in states from solid to liquid right before their eyes. Dry ice - the start of the show, explores properties of matter at extreme temperatures. Students will use balloons to help visualize the volumetric difference between matter in solid and gaseous states.
Hawaii State Education Standards:
Benchmark SC.2.6.1 Identify ways to change the physical properties of objects.
Workshop: Dinosaurs
Grade: K-2
Total Duration: 60 minutes
Vocabulary: Extinct, Carnivore, Fossil, Herbivore, Paleontologist
Description/Educational Objectives: Investigating the habits, needs and characteristics of dinosaurs facilitates the exploration of the fossilization process. Hands-on activities assist students with their understanding of fossils and dinosaurs. Students will examine real fossil casts, and explore the differences in the teeth of herbivorous and carnivorous dinosaurs. Students will participate in a mini dinosaur excavation and make a cast of a dinosaur tooth to take home.
General Hawaii Education Standards:
Living the values, attitudes, and commitments of the inquiring mind:
Using Unifying Concepts and Themes:
- Students use concepts and themes such as system, change, scale and model to help them explain the natural world.
Doing Safety:
- Students demonstrate the importance of safety skills in all activities.
Understanding Scientific Inquiry & Character of Scientific Knowledge:
- Students explain the process of how scientific knowledge is generated by scientific inquiry, and be able to critique a scientific investigation.
Unity and Diversity:
- Students examine unity and diversity of organisms and how they can be compared scientifically
National Science Education Standards:
Science as Inquiry
- Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry
- Understanding about scientific inquiry

Workshop: Where's The Air
Grade: K-2
Total Duration: 60 minutes
Vocabulary: Air, Air Pressure, Mass, Matter, Vacuum
Educational Objectives: Bernoulli never had it so good in this fun look at air pressure and aerodynamics. Why do airplanes fly and boats float? Let’s take a close, hands-on look at all sorts of neat stuff involving Bernoulli’s principles. Students even use their own flying devices to apply these principles of air pressure.

Workshop: Seeking Our Senses
Grade: K-2
Total Duration: 60 minutes
Vocabulary: Hearing, Sense, Sight, Smell, Sound, Taste, Touch, Visual
Educational Objectives: This workshop is an introduction to how our five senses work and function and the ways in which we use them in our everyday lives. Through hands-on experiments and activities students will have the opportunity to explore the importance of all five senses. This lesson provides an opportunity to develop scientific skills through inquiry based instructional methods.
