Extreme Radical Reaction Lab Did you know that bubbly, explosive concoctions are all just chemical reactions? We will explore the chemical elements as we have fun creating our own reactions. Elephant toothpaste, bubbling paints, and lemon suds are just a few of the experiments that we will be undertaking. So, put on those safety goggles and let's start mixing! Anatomy Academy How does your heart keep beating? How does your skeleton hold up your body? How does your body know when you are hungry? Our bodies are incredible scientific machines. Get ready to become an anatomy expert as we use microscopes to get a really up close view of ourselves. We will also investigate some of the not-so-nice liquids and noises our bodies make. You will know your body inside and out! Are you ready? Leagues Under the Seas Did you know that there is a whole area of the ocean that hasn't been explored yet? That the ocean is a vast ecosystem full of strange and unusual creatures? We will be discovering how an octopus swims, learning about the unusual ocean creatures that have just been discovered, and studying how the ocean moves. You'll never think of eating shrimp in the same way again! Terrific Scientific Our Best Experiments! This session is full of the really big impact experiments. We will have Bernoulli's laws help us discover how many breathes it take to fill a 2 meter long bag. Exploring physics we will learn how to balance nails. And, we will experiment with polymers to create a plastic bag that you can poke spears through. Get ready to be amazed! Geology Rocks! Are you a rock hound? Do you love to collect rocks? If so, this is the place for you. In Geology Rocks we will discover the science that happens underground while no one is watching. We will explore geodes and create our own crystals. We will discover the science behind how rocks are formed. Get ready to explore the world of high pressure! Going Green Everyone wants to take good care of our Earth. In Going Green we will learn how you can help! We will identify bird species found around your home. We will also discover the power of our sun as we make sun prints. Creating your own reusable lunch bag and making your own paper will turn you into a real environmental expert!
