Our Elementary Workshop Themes
Chem in a Flash
Hop on board the chemistry express for a high-speed science experience! Perform instantaneous experiments in this fast-paced class on split-second reactions that go like mad! Take home an Action Flask for you own reactions!
Detective Science
Students will become science sleuths as they investigate how chemistry provides evidence at the scene of the crime. During this hands-on detective work, children will gather and test 'crime scene' clues, make and analyze their own fingerprints, decipher codes and encrypt messages.
Dry Ice-Capades
Children will be introduced to the scientific concepts of phase changes and states of matter. They will witness the phenomenon of sublimation as we demonstrate the unique properties of dry ice & the spectacular "smoke" it creates. They will learn that dry ice is really frozen CO2 and will experience the Mad Science burp, a display of bubbling potions and, finally, a spooky Halloween scene.
Earthworks
Take a voyage to the center of the Earth! We'll investigate the powerful process that shapes our planet and forms remarkable rocks, magnificent minerals, and glittering gems! Children will take home Ultraviolet Detectors which they build themselves!
Magnetic Magic
Investigate the powers and daily uses of magnets! In this class, students will learn about polarity, will visualize magnetic fields, and will learn how to magnetize ordinary metals. They will also see how to make a compass.
Slime Time
Giant molecule chains called polymers are vital to modern civilization. In this program, we will explore, create and play with the most entertaining and useful molecule known to science, and discover its many shapes and forms. Children even make their own slime that they get to take home and keep!
Brixololgy - Carnivals
Children feel the thrill of a carnival as they build a spinning swing ride! They learn about the forces and mechanical engineering concepts behind some of their favorite amusement rides. Then, they improve and test their designs to create an ever wilder ride. Finally, the assemble, test and take home their very own Viking Ship Ride model!
