Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and yes, Pluto! The planets in our solar system have similarities and differences. Learn about them while molding a model of Mercury, performing fizzy experiments, and setting up Saturn's rings. Students will take home their own Solar System.
After Hours at the Science Factory will feature all of the 70+ interactive exhibits plus special drop-in Maker Space workshops and activity challenges that ask, “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?”
Just after the Spring Equinox, students will dive into learning about the seasons. Observe and measure absorption of water, an important part of Summer. Make a feeder for backyard critters in the Autumn, and then learn about insulators to keep warm in the Winter. Finally, students will use a common object to make a little garden to celebrate Spring!
Admission to the Science is Amazing Festival is FREE to the public and includes all Science Factory exhibits, plus special science demonstrations and activities.
