Your junior scientists will explore the scientific method in a series of fun, hand-on experiments! Students will discover the properties of matter through sorting, classification games, and pattern recognition.

Key Terms: Properties of Matter, Scientific Method, Observations, Exploration, Senses

Discover the exciting science behind light and sound! Students will get the chance to investigate how properties can change depending on the source, and how form and function go hand-in-hand.

Key Terms: Properties of Light and Sound, Sources of Light and Sound

Like the North and South poles of a magnet, students will be irresistibly drawn to this workshop! Students will explore the properties of magnets and their importance in daily life through hands-on activities, and make discoveries about friction.

Key Terms: Magnets, Magnetism, Magnetic Fields, Friction

It's getting hot in here! Find out how thermal energy can be produced and transferred, while exploring cause and effect.

Key Terms: Thermal Energy, Sources of Thermal Energy, Transfer of Thermal Energy

How does our electrical power system work, and what are the challenges of integrating different power sources into one system? In this workshop, students will answer these questions and explore the limitations and possibilities of renewable energy sources as they build their own marble-based energy grid!

Key Terms: Energy, Power, Electricity, Demand and Load, Generators, Turbines

Rock out with this workshop! Discover how Earth materials change as they move through the rock cycle and can be used as natural resources. Students will learn about the Earth as a system, and explore how we can act as stewards of our environment.

Key Terms: Rock Cycles, Erosion, Minerals, Crystals, Closed Material System

“Peas” invite us into your classroom “pod” and help us diagnose our medical mannequin Manny! In this cross-curricular workshop, students will combine chemistry and biology in a series of diagnostic tests.

Key Terms: Urinary/Excretory Systems, Heterogenous Mixtures, Separations, Careers in STEM

How do diseases spread in populations? Students will learn the basics of epidemiology, then they will have to work together to program their own outbreaks by coding Spheros that are infected, susceptible or immune and predict outcomes.

Key Terms: Disease Transmission, Epidemiology, Block Coding, Functions
