Atmosphere & Beyond |
We're on a mission to explore the atmosphere on Earth and beyond! Travel to the end of the rainbow and make a sunset! Mix up planetary atmospheres, one molecule at a time. See how stars twinkle. |
| Black & Blue Oceans |
This workshop introduces students to environmental issues relating to our water system. Through a hands-on approach students explore the effects of, and difficulties in cleaning up oil spills. |
| Dinosaurs |
Investigate the habits, needs and characteristics of dinosaurs. Learn how to tell the difference between carnivores and herbivores. Explore the process of fossilization and make your own dinosaur tooth. Then become a junior paleontologist and work on a dinosaur dig to find fossils. |
| Earthworks |
Find out that the earth beneath your feet is more than meets the eye in this introductory program on earth science. Uncover the forces that create earthquakes and learn how mountains are formed. See minerals fluoresce before your very eyes! |
| Living in Space |
What to know who did it? Test your skills and learn how the pros do it through careful observation and techniques to handle evidence properly. Using theirWhodunit Kittake home, students can practice the skills of recall and observation—they are provided with character descriptions to reconstruct the face of the suspect! |
| Mineral Mania |
This workshop provides students with an introduction to geology, including an understanding of the geological formation processes, classification systems, identification methods, and physical properties of rocks and minerals. Through interactive demonstrations and hands-on activities, students will learn how rocks and minerals are classified, understand the earth’s structure, pan for minerals and make an erupting volcano. |
| Planets & Moons |
Explore the farthest reaches of the solar system and create a lunar eclipse in this "mad" planetary tour! Learn how the planets stack up. Take-Home: Kepler's Cube |
| Rocket Science |
This is your chance to be a rocket scientist! Explore the science involved in rocket construction as you build your own rocket. |
| Space Phenomena |
Probe the mysteries of meteors and bounce around satellite light in this phenomenal program on space events! See comets up close as one is formed before your eyes. |
| Space Technology |
Discover technology designed for outer space! Steer a laser beam through a maze, find hidden mountains using principles of radar technology discover everyday objects designed for use in space. |
| Space Travel |
Race a balloon rocket and design your own car engine as you learn about thrust. See the principles of propulsion at work in a real rocket launch. |
| Sun & Stars |
This stellar program is your ticket to the stars! Watch star dust burn, and journey through a soapy galaxy as you investigate the life cycle of stars |
| Walloping Weather |
Welcome to the wild world of weather! Investigate why it rains, what causes lightning and even how weather can be predicted via a science called meteorology. Step into the shoes of a meteorologist and create some of your own regional weather forecasts. Finally, learn about the Sun's energy and ultraviolet radiation and make a U.V. detector to take home. |
| Where's the Air |
This workshop introduces the concept of air pressure through hands-on activities that encourage students to interact with the principles of air pressure. They will perform experiments that demonstrate how powerful, heavy and explosive air can be, and how we put it to use in everyday life. |
