Science Sunday's at the Areospace Museum!

Science Fun for the whole family

March 15       Early Engineers       

“Learn about orbit, gravity, and trajectory! Design and build a shuttle for a specific mission! Present your design to the other designers!”

March 22       Early Engineers       Space Shuttle            

“Learn about propulsion and chemical reactions necessary to launch a rocket into space! Design and build a rocket and launch tower! Present your design to the other designers!”
Note: you will not launch rockets in this class… 

April 12         Mad Science Electricity
Introduces students to the fundamental concepts of electricity: circuits, conductors, insulators, and how electricity is converted for everyday uses. Students get to create different circuits, interact with plasma balls, discover “sticky” static electricity and make their own static energy chambers to take home.”
April 26         Mad Science Fundamental Forces
Allows children to encounter their own force of gravity and to see what happens to objects when different forces are applied; this helps to illustrate things like gravity, racetrack, centrifugal, and centripetal force. Children also get a chance to experiment with gyroscopes and loops.
Learning through demonstrations, instruction, activities, and creation of a project
