Check out the colors of chemistry with ph indicators and a stopper-popping reaction. Probe the properties of light and discover some unusual applications of glow-in-the-dark technology. Make crazy concoctions and step inside a cloud created by Dry Ice.
New for 2021!
NASA: Academy of Future Space Explorers
Set your future space explorers on a trajectory from our Earth’s atmosphere to the outer reaches of our solar system! This hands-on program brings them closer to the stars, planets, comets, and more. They learn about living in space, getting away from gravity, looking for space phenomena, and they participate in a rocket launch!
Dinosaurs & Ancient Worlds
Dig up dinosaurs and the ancient past! Kids learn all about archaeology and paleontology! They also study bone fragments, pottery shards, amber deposits, and fossils. Each class includes a take-home project, like a fossil reproduction or amber time capsule. Finally, every camp will receive an unforgettable visit from ‘Tiny T’ an amazingly lifelike 10-year old Tyrannosaurus Rex!
Eureka!
Children overcome a series of challenges using basic materials, simple machines, tips from famous inventors, and most importantly, their minds. With a bit of ingenuity, they create catapults and forts, construct working light sticks, and assemble a set of circuits with batteries and light bulbs.
Science in Motion
It's a different type of science everyday - from chemistry to physics and more! Kids put on their engineer's hats for this exciting week of science activities. They also learn about chemical reactions that they might encounter in their daily lives and the nature of birds and beasts, as they take a walk on the wild side of science.
