 | UNDER PRESSURE
Join Bernoulli and Newton as we take this exciting look at the science behind aerodynamics and the properties of air... under pressure. Use a vortex generator to create air pockets with a punch, and levitate ping-pong balls in defiance of gravity!
CHE-MYSTERY
Eliminate the mystery in chemistry! Explore one of the most exciting and fundamental sciences as you grow a crazy crystal garden and make your own “chemical” soda pop!
"CURRENT" EVENTS
Take a tour on the electron freeway! Conductors, insulators, transistors, and other elements in the world of circuit electricity introduce themselves to you via the tingle in your fingertips and the twinkle in your eye…
FUN-DAMENTAL FORCES
Gravity... Inertia... Centripetal force... who could ever imagine that an introduction to physics could be so much fun? We’ll experience these awesome forces for ourselves and build some cool devices to watch them at work!
WACKY WAVES
Create your own multi density wave bottles while learning about water, waves and the environment. (Simulate the effects of an ocean oil spill and develop creative techniques to clean it up!)
SCIENCE OF MAGIC
Magic? No… It’s science! You’ll learn the secrets behind famous magic that you can recreate for yourself! Mother Nature has some tricks of her own, and we’d like to show you what’s up her sleeve!
STUNT PLANES & GLIDERS
The Wright Brothers would be proud as we follow in their footsteps and learn the fundamental principles of flight. Build your very own loop-flying stunt plane. You’ll be a Top Gun after this class! (We need access to a safe, uncluttered outdoor area to perform this workshop)
SUPER STRUCTURES
Discover the strengths of triangles, cylinders and arches. Learn how combinations of these shapes make for sturdy homes and skyscrapers! Use teamwork to build your own super structures as well as a delicious marshmallow earthquake-proof building!

ACIDS & BASES
Uncover the secrets of chemistry and the effects acids and basis have on our daily lives. Learn to test for acid rain, make your own CO2 fire extinguisher, and watch as a film canister pops using an acid and base.
DRY ICE
Explore the 3 states of matter. Turn water to ice in 30 seconds, build a giant bubbling potion, carbonate plain drinking water, and create the same awesome smoke illusions used in the movies.
LASER LIGHT
Learn about light, colors, holograms and special effects. Use a real laser to create illusions, design a light show and compete in a friendly game of “Laser Limbo”.
MATTER OF FACT
Investigate the ingredients of the universe. Build your own model molecules. Play Alchemist by turning a nickel into gold (well, almost) … and use our secret formula to make your own Mad Science Putty.
WATTS-UP
Learn about electricity, its properties and its role in natural phenomena. Make indoor lightning while conducting hair-raising experiments with our electrostatic generator.
MAGNETIC MAGIC
Investigate the powers and daily uses of magnets. Test for electromagnetic fields and then use what you have learned to build your own electromagnet.
OPTICAL ILLUSIONS
Build your own periscope while learning about optics, reflection and sight. Watch celebrity images change before your very eyes! Seeing is not always believing…
LIGHT… COLOR… ACTION!
Uncover the hidden components in ordinary light and build your own Newton’s color wheel to prove it. Attend a spectacular chemical energy display.
SLIME
Explore the exciting world of polymers, the chemical reactions we use to create them and the inner workings of silly putty. Transform two regular liquids into an oozing batch of your very own slime.
SONIC SOUNDS
Discover sound, sound waves and the way household items can be used to create amazing movie effects. Use our multi-effects processor to make a cassette tape of your altered voice, with lots of cool special effects.
TANTALIZING TASTE
Experiment with taste sensations while “mapping” out your tongue. Use lifesaver testing to compare your sense of smell and taste. Carbonate and taste your very own soda pop and take the “Mad Science” taste challenge.
HARNESSING HEAT
Witness a mini rocket launch while learning the properties of heat. Change the states of matter, turn solid candy into floss and make your very own cotton candy that you can eat! |
