CHOOSE YOUR TOPICS
Structural Engineering 
Students will be presented with a design challenge where they must think like an engineer to solve it. Challenges may include keva plank blueprints, catapults, bridges, towers, or balancing nails.
Electric Motors 
Students will explore the properties of electromagnetism and energy flow while building circuits that can power electric motors and generators. 45 minutes+ only
Circuit Lab
Students will learn about electricity and how energy flows while building and experimenting with a variety of circuits from simple to complex. Activities may include circuit boards, snap circuits, or paper circuits.
Robotics 
Students will learn the basics of robotics and programming while interacting with Edison Robots, Beebots, or others. Robotics programs can be tiered for any grade level.
Newton’s Laws of Motion 
Students will learn about Newton’s Laws of Motion and use them to perform dazzling feats! Activities may include the tablecloth trick, remove the platform, the coin trick, balloon races, and many more.
Rainforest Biomes OR Marine Biomes (choose one)
Students will learn about the importance of the rainforest or marine biome and about the animals and plants that live there. They will create a biome model to take home.
Our Solar System
Students will learn about the planets in our solar system, their placement around the Sun, and how they move.Each student will complete a solar system scroll to model the distance between the planets.
Create a Constellation
Students will choose a constellation and use skills like measurement, cutting, and design to recreate it on paper.
Create Art with Science
Students will create a watercolor project using household items like salt, baking soda, and vinegar. Activities may be free-form or use stencils depending on grade-level and time. Watch the watercolor react with the items to create a unique piece of art. Students take home what they make.
