Mad Science, School's Out - Detective Science - AM Only
Mission — “We aim to spark the imagination and curiosity of children everywhere by providing them with fun, entertaining and educational activities that instill a clear understanding of what science is really about and how it affects the world around them.” FULL DAY and HALF DAY OPTIONS!Tuesday, Septemeber 23Detective ScienceHelp solve the Bustertown Bake-Off Mystery! We’ve been asked to help the police investigate the scene of the “crime;” we’ll dust for fingerprints, examine clues, analyze different powders and interview witnesses. Help figure out whodunit!Lasers and OpticsBecome immersed in the world of lasers, light, and color! Discover how laser light differs from white light as we bend & shine beams of light all around the room and dissect white light with our special specs! Witness a small indoor fireworks display to show how different metals react to heat, and learn about tricks our eyes play on us by experimenting with mirrors and optical illusions!Wednesday, Septemeber 24LEGO® - BRIXology - Carnivals Explore the science and engineering that lets humans design and build exciting rides at carnivals and amusement parks. Through the engineering design process become mechanical engineers solving problems with creative solutions. Construct a miniature swinging viking ship ride to take home.LEGO ® - BRIXology - Creatures !Explore the science and engineering that lets humans invent new things based on solutions found in nature! Through the engineering design process become bio engineers solving problems with biomimicry. Put together a wind-up peacock puzzle that can move to take home!Thursday, October 2Jr NaturalistsBeaks, talons & claws! Owl pellets, camouflage and critters’ paws! We will dissect owl pellets and build houses for bugs and birds alike. Join us for all these activities and more in our nature discovery workshop!Jr GeologistCalling all Junior Geologists! Unearth the rock cycle and discover the difference between sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks. Replicate rumbling earthquakes and explosive volcanoes, pan for gems, and create a sedimentary stacker to take home!Monday, December 29NASA: STEM Explorers - Roving RoversDeveloped in partnership with NASA, we will think and act like NASA innovators during this hands-on program inspired by NASA OPSPARC. After receiving you mission notebook, you will design and build a Mars Rover. Your rover will be tested over various obstacles to ensure it can navigate Mars’ brutal terrain. From mission patches to engineering for space NASA Roving Rovers is out of this world!RocketryHere is your chance to be a rocket scientist! Investigate the four forces of flight as you race through space learning the basics of rocket travel. Build your own Mad Science rocket to take home. If we have fair skies, we’ll even see the principles of propulsion at work with a real rocket launch!
