Sessions:
Oct 21 - Spooky Science - From glowing potions to mysterious transformations, every age group experiences science through a spine-tingling, hands-on adventure that blends learning with a little Halloween magic. Don't be scared to join us!
Nov 4 - CSI - Through the power of science and investigation, we will uncover clues that are otherwise invisible to the unaided eye. We will explore fingerprints, simulate blood reagent testing, and discover fabric fibers.
Nov 18 - DNA in Motion - DNA has all the information your body needs to grow and develop into the awesome and unique person that is YOU. Learn more about this mighty molecule and even get your own chance to extract some DNA.
Dec 2 - Nitromania - Students will see physical changes occur before their very eyes as they learn about the states of matter in this “chilling” program about liquid nitrogen.
Dec 16 - Arctic Living - Sunny South Florida is a long way from the frigid temperature of the Arctic Circle. Today we will take a journey to explore how plants and animals survive the frosty environments of the coldest places on Earth. We will also explore what it takes to keeps ourselves warm and what would happen if we fail to prep for freezing temps.
