Making Sense of It All
Ugh! What’s that smell? Students will hear, see, smell, taste, and touch their way through this multi-sensory workshop.
Mars Quest
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
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*
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
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
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
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
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.
