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 cast to take home. Experiment with camouflage and explore the amazing — and sometimes strange — sounds that animals make.
Energy Burst!
Children explore the energy of motion. They pop, jump and flip with hopping, swimming and swinging toys. They check out the kinetic energy in rubber, band-wound gadgets and reach their potential with the Catapult Take-Home.
Mix it Up
It’s time to shake up solutions and explore mixture chemistry. Children sort out mixtures, clear color from a watery solution and see how useful a suspension can be. The Super Sorter gives children the tools to sort mixtures at home.ds.
Life In The Sea
The ocean holds many mysteries. Children learn about its diverse life forms—from plankton to whales! They discover underwater habitats, and learn how humans can help protect ocean life. The Anaglyph Sea Puzzle lets children dive in and take the ocean home.
Radical Robots
Children become wrapped up in the world of robotics! Volunteers act out a robot, remote control device and an automaton. Children control an automaton through sound and make a soccer robot score a goal! They build their own Robot Hand—a human-like end effector.
Get Connected
Let’s talk about telecommunications! Children chat over cables, link to a network and work with radio signals. Children wind through a cell tower relay and track cell phone users. They bring home the Wired World, an optical fiber telecommunications model.
Super Power Sources
How do we make electricity? Children explore renewable and non-renewable resources for power generation. They use mechanical force to turn on fans, and find out what makes a battery work. The Crank’n Shine gives children a chance to generate light!
Moving Motion
Children catapult into Newton's three laws of motion! They yank a cloth from under dishes, send crash test dummies flying and launch mini-rockets across the room. They see action–reaction forces at work with the twirling Newton Spinner Take-Home.
