winter_logo

We are Proud to Present

Our Newest Program

 "Weird Science..Pharaohs to Forensics" 


5 Sessions on Fridays

Dates:  Jan 27, Feb 3, 10, 17, 24

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:  We will not be building a rocket or having a launch in thie winter session due to weather constraints.  HOWEVER, also note, that the indoor hands-on 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!

 Build this Unique Combination of a Rocket and a Glider Plane!


BUILD AND LAUNCH A

BOOST GLIDER ROCKET


          

WE WILL BE CONSTRUCTING A ROCKET AND A GLIDER PLANE

 

The rocket carries the glider plane up, releases it and returns while the plane glides back to earth.

This is a brand new Rocket for Liftoff!  We will build the Balsa Glider and test it to see its flight pattern.  We will learn to "trim" it with Clay, to make it glide in the direction we wish it to go!

Then we will construct the Rocket which will carry the Glider into space and release it. The Rocket will come down with a streamer and the Glider will glide back to earth!




 

We have 30 spots available and these classes fill up quickly!.
