How fast are those roller coasters that we love so much? Work as a team to design and build your own coaster, and gain a better understanding of the principles of motion. (Not recommended for 1st grade.)
What keeps astronauts from having their blood boil, and still face temperatures of -148 degrees farenheit? Help to engineer your own spacesuit to deal with a harsh space environment.
What would our life be like without plastics? From baby diapers to our favorite toys, see how plastics surround us. Create your own bouncy ball from this super material.
Test your powers of observation as you see the science behind a magical world. Can we make water disappear? How do we turn water into grape juice? How strong are you? Take your turn at being a magician.
Be the archaeologist who determines the age of an artifact by using core samples and dendrochronology as guidelines. Don't forget, it's time to check the trash.
A kitchen is really a chemistry laboratory. Become a candy chemist and see how chemical reactions are behind your favorite sweet treat.
Scientists can examine once living things to determine how old an object may be. Use your sweet tooth to study the laws of probability. Remember, more than your teeth can decay.
Is your hair shampoo Ph balanced? Which is worse, acid rain or coffee? Be a chemist and use different indicators to test for acids and bases while examining their properties.
Become current with electrical terms. Get charged up as you make a simple circuit and demonstrate your knowledge of insultors and conductors.
