Adventurous Architects
Grades K-4
Explore the science of physics, engineering and architecture. Students will plan, build, and test structures as they participate in a variety of engineering challenges, using ROK blocks .
Human Body
Grades 4-6
Explore the “ins and outs” of the digestive and circulatory systems. Students discover exactly what happens to the hamburgers they had for lunch and how hard their hearts must work to keep them moving.
Chemistry Concepts
Grades 4-6
Take an intimate look at the indicators of a chemical change in this inquiry-based investigation of the properties of matter.
Electric Avenue
Grades 3-4
Use an inquiry-based approach to understand the relationship between electricity and magnetism. Shocking experiments illuminate this challenging subject.
Energy Explorers
Grades 3-7
What is energy? Students investigate several different forms of energy, including light, sound, electrical, chemical, and thermal energy.
Engineering by Design
Grades 3-6
Students will work in groups as they experience what it is like to be an engineer. They will plan, build, and test solutions to a unique challenge as they explore the scientific method and engineering process.
Fantastic Forces
Grades 2-5
This hands-on program introduces students to friction, forces, and the laws of motion. After experimenting with parachutes, students design and build roller coasters to investigate the fundamental laws of physics.
Forces in Action
Grades 6-8
Have fun with physics in this fast-paced workshop. Using roller coasters and parachutes, students explore motion, unbalanced forces, friction, velocity, and more.
Forensic Detectives
Grades 4-7
In this “mysterious” program, students use chemistry, physics and observation skills to piece together evidence and crack the case. They learn how to classify mysterious powders, calculate the pH of soils, and perform chromatography to separate pigments.
Habitats
Grades K-3
Students sharpen their observation skills while exploring why animals live in different habitats. Students will investigate a terrarium, learn about adaptations and learn about how aniamls use their habitats to survive.
Insect Inspectors
Grades K-4
Why do some insects hop and others buzz? Explore camouflage, life cycles and more in this program devoted to the incredible world of insects. A visit from a live insect ambassador is included!
Making Sense of It All
Grades Pre-K-2
Ugh! What’s that smell? Students will hear, see, smell, taste, and touch their way through this multi-sensory workshop.
Mars Quest
Grades 5-8
Students will work together to build a spacecraft to take them to Mars, then complete several experiments to learn more about our neighboring Red Planet.
Sensational Solar System
Grade 3-5
Learn fascinating information about our neighboring planets and discover why our solar system is so unique with these out-of-this-world activities.
Simple Machines*
Grade 1-3
In this inventive workshop, students encounter simple machines in everyday life and learn how they work. They use levers, wheels, screws, pulleys, and more to solve tasks and create gadgets.
Solar Science
Grade 4-7
Explore the fundamentals of radiant energy. Students learn how the sun heats the Earth and then compete in a solar design challenge. A great complement to our exhibition “So WATT! An Illuminating Look at Energy.”
Sound Science
Grade K-3
Investigate the many ways of making sound and discover how it travels through different substances. Experiment with waves, explore vibrations, and make an imaginative musical instrument.
States of Matter
Grade K-2
Explore the wonderful states of matter as students discover how liquids turn into solids, solids into liquids, liquids into gas and even solids into gas! After the students explore the relationships between the states of matter, our educator will present an out-of-this-world demonstration!
Superhero Genetics
Grades 6-8
Genes play an important role in the makeup of all living things. In this humorous approach to genetics, students will use superheroes to discover the fundamental aspects of heredity, including alleles, dominance, phenotypes, genotypes, and mutations.
Weather Watchers
Grade K-3
Students take on the role of meteorologists to discover what makes the weather. They’ll explore why weather changes and then create instruments to measure it.
