Create your own Electromagnet!
Learn about electricity and magnets and how they influence each other by creating your own electromagnet!
Create your own magnetic kite!
This activity will teach us about magnets and how they can overcome gravity by creating a magnetic kite!
Create Your Own Lava Lamp!
Learn about the density of liquids and the production of gases in this cool activity!
Exploring the Sine and Cosine Curve
To pictorially demonstrate the relationship between the sine and cosine graphs and the unit circle. This will give the students a better idea of what the graphs should look like rather than having them memorize it.
Hole in Hand and Other Eye Related Tricks
To demonstrate how two eyes interact with each other, and how strange things can happen when we alter the conditions in which we see the world.
Magic of Density
Students will explore density by modifying the density of liquids, observing the density of different solids, and observing the density differences between objects that occupy the same volume by comparing varieties of pop. Mass over volume is the message!
Elasticity - Rubber Band Bungee Jump
The objective of this activity is to be able to drop the object, and have it get as close to the ground as possible without it actually touching, much like with actual bungee jumping.
Penny Drops
Students will explore surface tension and how water molecules stick together to form a drop of water by dropping water onto a penny or any other small coin.
Fantastic Forces
During this activity, the participants complete four different tasks to learn about five forces - gravity, friction, magnetism, static electricity and buoyancy.
Storytime - Who Likes the Wind?
Read "Who Likes the Wind?" and learn about wind and renewable energy.
Storytime - Balloon Magic
Read "Curious George and the Hot Air Balloon" and learn about the properties of light.
Storytime - Cloud in a Jar
Read "The Cloud Spinner" and learn about the water cycle in nature.
Let's Build a Telescope!
Learners will build their very own telescope and experience what it's like to look at different objects through a telescope lens.
Make Your Own Bottled Music
Students see how different amounts of air and water in a space can change the way we hear sounds.
Make a "Coat Hanger Walkman"
Students explore the science of sound by creating their own "Walkman" which transmits vibrations through a piece of string.
