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!
Electronics Lab: Learn basic circuitry as you construct various electronic gizmos. Assemble circuit boards, connect wiring, batteries, speakers, and LED's to bring your project to life. Soldering is required; no previous experience necessary, as basic skills will be taught. (For 3rd-5th grades only.)
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?
