Science Encounters | Fall Session 2011


Motion Commotion (K-2nd)
This class will explore the many ways we can make things move. How many marbles does it take to move something across the room? Which ramps are best for matchbox cars? Can you make a course for dominoes, so they will all fall down in a line? What type of ball has the most energy? Questions like these will be used for the basis of many experiments in this fast moving class on motion. Students can expect to design and build launches, experiment with pulleys and pendulum systems, design and create balloon jets and more! The laws of Sir Isaac Newton will be taught as the students conduct these thought provoking experiments.


Inventions (Grades 3rd - 5th)
Have you ever had a great idea for solving a common problem but didn’t know how to put your idea to use?  Students will get into an inventor’s frame of mind by practicing their skills in brainstorming, visualizing, combining simple parts to make complex machines, and testing ideas for their inventions. They will construct a variety of devices, which can be used in their own unique inventions. Students will figure out how to make parachute releasers, a launch system, water level indicators, burglar alarms, and more! We hope that students will stay in their inventor’s frame of mind and continue to use these creative skills at home and at work.
