Summer Preschool Workshop Topics
Adventures in Air
Preschoolers learn that even though air is invisible it is all around them, all the time. They also learn that air has the power to move items and to slow them down. They experiment with a variety of items that rely on the air to help them move.
Animal Friends
Children become an animal, identify animal sounds, and learn all about animal babies and parents.
Bug Buddies
Get up close and personal with creepy, crawly “bugs!” Your preschoolers will learn how to tell the difference between bugs and insects, and how to answer questions like "how many legs does an insect have?" and "are all bugs pests?" The kids will even get to make a bug buddy to take home - don'’t worry it'’s not alive!
Digging for Dinos
Kids are introduced to the differences between meat-eating and plant-eating animals. They have the opportunity to look at some dinosaur teeth up close and work as paleontologists, by participating in a mini dinosaur dig that engages their attention and helps them improve their scientific knowledge.
Energy and Motion
Kids explore the concept of energy and how it gets things moving. Toys are used to help explain simple energy ideas and capture preschoolers' attention. They also get to take home toys called “Boinks” that demonstrate how energy and motion are related.
Human Body
Children meet Mr. Bones, the skeleton, and learn about muscles and body systems. The children get to make and take home their own Boney Macaroni!
Mad Mixtures
Kids learn about volcanoes and simple chemistry. They make their own modeling dough to take home.
Playing with Polymers
Giant molecule chains called polymers are vital to modern civilization; and they can be lots of fun for kids. In this slimy class, we will explore, create and play with the most entertaining and useful molecule known to science, and discover its many shapes and forms.
Powerful Plants
Get out your gardening gloves! In this class all about plants, your junior botanists will learn where seeds come from and how they grow. They will discover how wild plants "plant themselves" through very clever adaptations involving wind, fire and wild animals. They will plant their own seeds to take home, grow, and eat!
Shapes and Structures
Children discover different shapes and structures by using different kinds of equipment, like Geoboards and Magnatiles. They create their own structure to take home using cornstarch-based “noodles.”
Smoke and Bubbles
This workshop is really "cool!" Your kids will be mesmerized when we use dry ice to make bubbling potions, shivering quarters, popping corks, and a thrilling cemetery scene. They'll even learn that the "smoke" from dry ice is really carbon dioxide gas.
