We are Proud to Present
Our Newest Program
"Weird Science..Pharaohs to Forensics"
5 Sessions on Tuesdays:
Dates: Jan 31, Feb 7, 14, 21, 28
Time: Upon Dismissal until 4:00 (7.5 hours total)
Tuition: $79/student
We are having quite a different program this winter! Testing statistics show that students show lower numbers in "Social Studies/history" and "Science".
We have decided to combine the two, Science and History and present a very unique, and interesting program to the students.
We mentioned our ideas to many students and teachers this past fall, and everyone thought it would be a very exciting program. Please note that there is no Rocket Building or Launchinginvolved in this program as winter weather is not suitable. However, the indoor activities are HUGE!
What we will be doing:
During our Sessions we will, take a "flight" to the past, come to the present, and project into the future!
The Science of Ancient Egypt:
Lots of science...amazing culture!
We will learn the science behind mummification, make a mummy, learn about the pyramids, math and science involved, writing, art.
BEST! We will have a guest Anthropologist share her knowledge and experiences in this session of our program! Renee Lowe's background is in Native American culture and also has rich knowledge of ancient Egyptian culture.
Science during Medieval times
We will design Medieval castles and make catapults to "Storm the Castle"! Catapults will teach velocity, mass, distance.
Science and Magic
Is it really Magic...or chemistry? We will make invisible ink, do some experiments that will appear to be "magic"...
Forensic Science
CSI and NCIS Fans... Grissom and Abby would like this session!
We will become CSI's, make a CSI kit, take fingerprints, evidence and solve a mystery.
Probing Planets
What would life be like on other planets, what are some NASA projects seeking out, create a tornado in a bottle, learn about the electromagnetic field, build an electromagnet.
WOW!

This awesome rocket is a High Flier and will reach heights of 900 feet! Best of it, it has a Red See-Through Plastic Payload (compartment) so you can send something special of yours into space!
We will also be studying Newton's Third Law, which is
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite re-action"
We will be doing a hands-on experiment so the students can "see" how this law works!

We look forward to seeing you again!
WE ARE SO EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THE FOLLOWING CLASSES TO THE PICKETT'S MILL STUDENTS!
Many students had the opportunity to build a Flying Saucer and/or a Baby Bertha Rocket with us last year! For those students, we are offering:
The Patriot Missile
This Rocket is a replica of the Interceptor Rocket deployed during the Gulf War - Operation Enduring Freedom! You will construct and launch this tall rocket!
If you have not had the chance to join us before, this is the perfect class for you!
Flying Saucer Workshop
Here you will construct and Launch a Flying Saucer! It is a great First Class where you will learn some basics of model rocketry. Flying Saucers are very fast and go very high!
