3,2,1 Go! The countdown is on in this session as we launch into some experiments that are full of energy. Try out different objects in the wind tube, launch a marshmallow, use an air doughnut to topple a tower, use a chemical reaction to launch a mini rocket. There is so much fun to be had with this session that you will have you saying, “3,2,1 Go!” every time.
Date: Fri Jun 30
Cool Chemistry Concoctions. Your house is full of all sorts of chemistry experiments just waiting to take place! Learn about and explore basic chemistry with everyday household items. Create a secret message and use chemistry to reveal it, make and experiment with Litmus paper, boil a liquid with your hands, learn how to put out a candle with an invisible gas, measure the speed of molecules with a homemade thermometer and create your own concoctions!
Date: Fri Jul 14
Funtastical Physics! Accelerate your learning and launch your creativity with a fun mixture of physics experiments. This session is for youth with extra potential energy, we can help them convert it into cool science learning that is fun and hands-on! During this session we will discuss scientific method and explore some of the basic laws of physics - concepts such as acceleration, drag, pressure, potential energy, kinetic energy, Newton's Laws, leverage and much more!
Dates: Mon Jun 26, Mon Aug 7, NEW DATE: Mon Aug 14
Giant Beach Bubbleology. Come to the beach and make gigantic loop bubbles, and we are talking giants! We will also reveal some secrets behind super bubble recipes and how to achieve maximum bubble-fication.
Date: Fri Aug 18
Kitchen Science. Have you ever been told not to play with your food? Well then, you need this hands-on Kitchen Science class, where playing with food in not only encouraged, but required! Behold the science you have right in your very own kitchen cabinets! In this science class we will learn and explore using everyday kitchen ingredients. Explore density, salinity, freezing, basic chemistry, acids/bases and more! Learn great science experiments you can do at home with items you more than likely have in your own kitchen.
Date: Fri Aug 4
Parachutes, Loopy Fliers, Whirligigs, Oh My! Let your imagination soar during this session! Grinnin Fish will supply all the materials needed to create your own parachute to test out in the Grinnin Fish wind tube. Engineer your own unique whirligig and Loopy Flier you can play with and take home to use over and over again, no batteries needed!
Date: Fri Jul 21
Robot Garage. During this Museum of Flight activity kids will use lots of robots parts and their imagination to design and build moving robotic creations. This activity is ideal for kids ages 8 and older.
Dates: Fri Jul 7 at 11:30AM, Fri Sept 1 at 11:30AM
The Science of Bubbleology! Experiment with different objects to make bubbles, hold a bubble, make a square or triangular bubble, blow a bubble inside of a bubble, and make a bubble paint masterpiece. You may also create your own bubble maker to continue your bubbleology explorations at home.
Date: Fri Jul 28
Science Sampler. We have picked a few of our favorite experiments from “Kitchen Science”, “Wacky Water Science” and because we love them so much we couldn't leave out some fun from “The Science of Bubbleology!”
Dates: Mon Jul 17, Mon Aug 21
Simply Spectacular Machines. They have been around since the beginning of time and they are still used to make our work easier and more efficient. In this hands-on session we will learn about different applications of and put to the test six simple machines. The lever, wheel and axle, inclined plane, wedge, pulley, and the screw are all simple, yet spectacular.
Date: NEW DATE: Fri Aug 25
Under the Night Sky (inside a digital planetarium). During this Museum of Flight program kids will learn about the Solar System we call home from inside a digital planetarium. Explore planets, moons and more while learning about the motions and interactions of these amazing celestial objects. This program is ideal for kids in grades 3 - 9.
Date: Sat Jul 1 at 2 PM & 3 PM
Very Cool Dry Ice Science. Dry ice - so very cool! No really, it is! Explore the wonders, mist, and mystique of dry ice! In this hands-on activity, participants will learn what sublimation is, launch a rocket, witness a bubble growing by itself before their very eyes, hold a bubble and then watch it turn to smoke.
Dates: Fri Jun 23, Mon Jul 31
Wacky Water Science. What is so wonderful about water you wonder? Wait no longer, see for yourself! This class is fun for all ages, hands- on, and well ... wet. Using water in every experiment, we will cover some basic scientific terms (such as pressure, salinity, buoyancy, density, absorption, evaporation) and put them to the test with fun, hands on science experiments. There will be a short presentation to show the experiments and how they work, after the presentation everyone will be able to visit every station to explore hands-on, ask more questions, share observations and enjoy some great water science!
Dates: Mon Jul 10, Fri Aug 11
Whirligig Wind Table. During this Museum of Flight activity kids will build whirligig helicopters and see them fly in the wind table. This activity is ideal for kids ages 5 and older.
Date: Fri Jul 7, Fri Sept 1
