Science Encounters | Fall Session 2010

Magnets & Other Attrractions (Grades K - 2nd)
Every young scientist enjoys experimenting with the mysterious properties of magnets. Students will make paper clips “float”, build and test electromagnets, experiment with motors, test magnetism in water, move various objects without touching them, and use super-strong magnets to see if breakfast cereals contain iron and to attract the magnetic ink on dollar bills! We will explore the attractive forces of static electricity when we use balloons to lift paper and surface tension when we “float” paper clips on water.

You Can Build It (Grades 3rd - 5th)
Why don’t heavy bridges sink into the ground or skyscrapers bend over in strong winds? How do bridges withstand the weight of thousands of cars each day? These and many other challenging questions will be explored in this class on structures. Students will build several types of bridges and compete for the strongest bridge, build strong foundations for model buildings, create geodesic domes, make paper columns that can carry several pounds of weight, and more! Scientific principles involved in architecture will be discussed as students create their own structures.
