Overview
Kids will unbox the surprising world of science as they discover a new STEM topic in each class! In this program, kids learn about several specialized areas of science, including forensics, geology, meteorology, entomology, and mechanical engineering. They gain foundational science knowledge to help them in future science endeavors.
Class Description
Bugs!
Kids engross themselves in entomology! They inspect authentic insect specimens, update their insect anatomy knowledge, and match insects with their habitats.
Detective Science
Kids play detective and help crack a case! They inspect fingerprints, mystery powders, ink samples, and teeth impressions. Then, they create a composite from memory.
Earthworks
Kids dig into Earth Science! They uncover rock samples and discover how they formed. They inspect fluorescing minerals, model the moving plates that cause bends and breaks, and learn how sediment stacks.
Movie Effects
Kids discover why science is the real star on the big screen. They create cool sound effects and toys with 3-D technology, make motion pictures come alive and sketch a short feature.
Science of Toys
What makes toys work? Kids learn about motorized toys and take a spin with kinetic tops. They balance a bird to reveal its center of gravity.
Walloping Weather
Kids become weather-wise and uncover the reason for seasons. They create three-day weather forecasts, stage a statically charged indoor storm, and spot the sun’s invisible UV rays.
