No/Low materials

Participants explore the current topic of self-driving cars and use it as a platform to learn about the big ideas behind computational thinking.

Students explore various aspects of flight and apply their knowledge by designing and testing paper planes.

Students participate in a series of exciting virtual quizzes.

Students will learn how to feel closer to their peers even while being apart during the pandemic through learning about movement synchrony and learning a dance together.

How can we use basic knowledge of how circuits work to construct a simple appliance? This burglar alarm is easy to understand based on knowledge of circuits and switches.

Students take their fingerprints and identify the patterns.

An activity to demonstrate how a planisphere operates. A planisphere is a star chart analog computing instrument in the form of two adjustable disks that rotate on a common pivot.

In this activity, participants will build a scale model of the distances in the solar system using a roll of toilet paper to better understand distances in space.

This activity demonstrates the importance of engineering and allows students to practice teamwork!

Buoyancy is the upward force that the water is exerting on the object that is floating. It is what is keeping the object from sinking! In this activity, we will learn about buoyancy through creating our own boats.

This activity is a good demonstration of genetic differences (about 70% of those tested should be able to taste it).

This activity discusses Optics/Perception and teaches about the persistence of vision.

This activity will introduce younger audiences to what science is.

The students will identify and recognize their 5 senses when completing these activities. This activity goes well with the "Feast for the Senses" lending library kit.

This is a lecture based lesson on the brain - the basics on the brain, how drugs effect the brain, how nutrition effects the brain and the importance of looking after our brains. Following the lecture, a hands on "egg drop challenge" can be done with the students, emphasizing the importance of wearing helmets.
