It’s the View that Counts: Seeing in 2D but building in 3D
Learn to build like an architect and create 2D dimensional shapes from a one dimensional illustration or blueprints. Students will work from a flat photo of an object to create 3 dimensional items.This session will teach the important different view prospective as you read a blueprint and construct!

Weight Lifting Acids and There Speed of Reaction: Molarity
Students will explore the importance of concentration of an acid on a reaction. Students will compare identical acids of differing concentrations (molarity) to the speed of a reaction. Student will be able to predict the speed of a reaction as molarity increase and decrease.

JUST ADDED: Nov 4th (9:30 – 11:00am)
Acids and Bases: The Candy Science of Sour
Students will have the opportunity to work with Acids and Bases but from the prospective of candy and foods. Students will learn how to determine an acid from a base using pH paper and acid/base tests. They will learn how to read the color scale associated with an acid or a base and be able to determine which items are strong acids/bases and those that are weak acids/bases. Students will also be able to tell if a food is an acid or base from their own facial expressions as they take that first taste.

Crashes and Collision: The Law of Conservation of Momentum
Students will explore the world of motion and collisions, learning that not every collision is created the same. Students will learn the impact that mass, speed, velocity and angle have on a collision…. But they will also learn that the law of conservation of momentum will never change and knowing that will help them predict what will happen in a crash before it even happens.

The Slinky: The Secret of Potential and Kinetic Energy
The slinky is not only a child’s toy but a learning tool full of knowledge and energy. Students will start with the examination of the slinky… to finds the hidden energy within… Stretch and compression. Students will then learn about Potential energy and how we can calculate it… then we will explore Kinetic Energy and how it can be determined. Lastly student will turn their slinky’s Potential energy into Kinetic energy…. All to learn about the Law of Conservation of Energy.

Simple Machines: Not so Simple but lots of FUN
Students will explore the basic form of simple machines. They will learn how to place the fulcrum on a lever to increase and decrease the mechanical advantage of the machine. Students will be asked to create pulley systems to lift heavy object with ease. Students will compare the incline plane to a straight lift. As the students explore the simple machines they will be introduce to a spring scale and the Newton as a unit of force… as well as the concept of mechanical advantage.
