Barnyard Biology: Where do YOU fit into the food chain? Gain insight into the interconnectedness of nature as you explore food webs and comparative anatomy by dissecting owl pellets and reconstructing skeletons with actual bones.
Crazy Chemical Concoctions: Explore slippery substances, powders, and mushy stuff via hands-on, elbow, deep projects and experiments. Discover chemical properties. Experiment with solutions, solvents, and reactants that tend to flare, fizzle, and spark--but don't blow up the lab!
Kaleidoscopes, Prisms, and Rainbows: Discover the physics of light! Explore the magic, beauty, and science of color via hands-on projects with light, reflection, shadows, mirrors, illusion, and art!
Ultimate Bottle-Flipping STEM Challenge! Take your bottle-flipping skills to new heights by applying math, physics, statistics, and experimentation to your technique. Can science help you determine the "perfect" bottle for optimal results?
