Fantastic Forces & Flight
In these exciting hands-on classes, you will play engineer, chemist and stunt pilot! You’ll be shocked by what you learn about electricity, be blown away by experiments with air pressure, and get swept away in the excitement of working with water waves!
Here are the class descriptions for the 6 week course:
“Current” Events
Take a tour on the electron freeway! Investigate conductors,
insulators, and other elements in the world of circuit
electricity. Build your own circuit with the Technicolor
Blender.
Fantastic Fliers
Fly through flight and aerodynamics basics! Discover the four
forces that affect flight. Make and test various plane designs to
see these forces in action! Build the Sky Hawk foam
plane and fling it forward!
Super Structures
Act like junior architects and engineers! Test out shapes for
strength. See if a paper column can withstand the Column
Collapser apparatus! Construct a structure from scratch with
the Bridge Basics kit.
Under Pressure
Join Bernoulli as we take an exciting look at the science behind
air pressure. Create a whirlwind with an Airzooka vortex
generator, and make pucks and balls levitate with air pressure!
Launch foam rockets with the Air Blaster kit.
Wacky Water
Simulate the effects of an ocean oil spill, and develop creative
techniques to clean it up! Experiment with density, buoyancy,
water and waves, and build your own Rescue Diver to
take home.
Che-mystery
Discover the mystery in chemistry! Explore one of the most
exciting and fundamental sciences as you watch water turn into
juice and liquids turn into solids. Explore physical and chemical
reactions with the Dynamic Dish kit.
