Science Festivals
Students have the opportunity to be scientists with 12 hands-on activities. This event works great day or night to get both students and parents excited about science! Festivals are designed to include material for achievement assessment preparation!
Two themes to choose from:
Structures
Build big with hands-on math and engineering activities designed around some of history’s most notable creations. Students will have the opportunity to build their own geodesic domes, create a keystone arch, and design a house stable enough to withstand an earthquake.
Forces and Motion
This experience will reinforce Newton’s Three Laws of Motion. Students discover both the science and the scientists behind some of the world’s greatest inventions, and put their knowledge of motion to work building roller coasters, launching film canister rockets, creating a button flywheel, and much more!
