Kitchen Science In this hands-on session, playing with food in not only encouraged, it's required! Behold the science you have right in your very own kitchen cabinets! Participants will use everyday kitchen ingredients to explore density, salinity, freezing, basic chemistry, acids/bases and more! Very Cool Dry Ice Science Dry ice is so very cool! Really, it is! Explore the wonders, mist, and mystique of dry ice! In this hands-on session 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. Suited for Space You'll work in small groups to design and build “space suits” from household materials to protect a marshmallow astronaut to discover what happens to the human body in space. Participants will test their designs in the vacuum chamber and evaluate their success. Best for kids 11 and over. Robot Garage Participants use lots of robots parts and their imagination to design and build moving robotic creations in this robot workshop. Best for kids 9 and older. Flying Contraptions Using table wind tunnels, participants can design and test different flying contraptions using basic household materials. Participants can investigate how changing design and materials can affect the flight of an object. Best for kids 7 and older. Robot Garage Participants use lots of robots parts and their imagination to design and build moving robotic creations in this robot workshop. Best for kids 9 and older. Whirligig Wind Table Build whirligig helicopters and see them fly over the wind table. Best for kids 6 and older. Suited for Space You'll work in small groups to design and build “space suits” from household materials to protect a marshmallow astronaut to discover what happens to the human body in space. Participants will test their designs in the vacuum chamber and evaluate their success. Best for kids 11 and over. The Insect Lady brings her insect collection (live exotic & native insects). She'll have a couple microscopes so you can look at close-ups of insect body parts. She'll have insect field guides and materials so kids of all ages can do insect-themed art.
