Chemistry has never been so interesting! Students will discover substances with strange and surprising properties. They will explore the differences between chemical and physical changes while experimenting with film canister rockets and endothermic and exothermic reactions.

Enhance your life science instruction through the crosscutting concepts of structure and function with one of our unique hands-on dissection workshops.

• Cow Eye Dissection - Exploring the inner workings of the eye, students will understand the complex anatomy and physiology of the visual system.

• Crayfish Dissection - Study the anatomy of invertebrates and explore survival adaptations needed for various environments.

• Grasshopper Dissection - Grasshoppers are great for learning about insect anatomy or for comparative anatomy discussions.

This presentation explores fundamental science concepts with an exciting extreme twist! Water defies gravity, metal sparks and a liquid that is -320ºF displays incredible abilities.

Join us as we explore all things electrical energy! Where can it come from? How does it work? How do we use it? We will answer these questions and more as your students engage in hands-on activities related to natural resources, conductors, circuitry and solar power.

Be a part of science research and have a hoot as your students learn about owls, their environments and the food web. Identify bones and collect data to learn more about their diet and their digestive system.

This unique competition-style science demonstration will team up your students to compete in science-themed challenges, while introducing them to important scientists and science concepts. You and your students will have a blast as they cheer each other on in this game show-esque experience.

Explore how the star at the center of our solar system, the Sun, creates night and day. Then gaze with wonder at the other stars in our universe, along with some famous constellations and the myths they are based upon.

Worms and bugs can seem scary and gross. By observing these critters up close, learning more about their behaviors, and exploring their environmental benefits, we realize that they are vital to our world.

Students will have an out-of-this-world experience as they explore the solar system and beyond at 12 different activity stations. They will discover how stars are born, learn facts about the objects in our solar system, model the moon’s phases and explore how objects orbit each other. Then they will come back down to Earth to experiment with erosion, observe and classify rocks. They are sure to have a blast!

Forces, motion, engineering...oh my! Students will explore Newton’s Three Laws of Motion and the Engineering Design Process as they experiment at 12 activity stations, including magnets, rockets and creating a machine that can transport a marble.

Using everyday materials, students engineer their own pathways for marbles and try to successfully meet our design parameters as they get hands-on with the engineering design process.

Travel with Wally the Walleye on his journey down the Maumee River into Lake Erie. Students will explore why water is such a valuable resource and learn ways to reduce the impacts of pollution.

Students will become structural engineers as they explore how science and math combine to create amazing architecture at 12 activity stations. Students will be challenged to create Roman arches and earthquake resistant buildings, build bridges, follow blueprints and design domes, along with other activities that will have your students building big!

Get ready to make and discover as we transform your space into a hub of creativity! Through eight immersive experiences, students will have the opportunity to experience the latest in engineering, electronics, fabrication, coding and robotics. Students will experience state-of-the-art technology like laser cutters and 3-D printers, empowering them to unleash their inner inventor as they create, build and experiment.

Get down and dirty as your students learn about nature’s own recycling system: Decomposers! These important creatures break down organic matter and return it to the ecosystem for other creatures to use again and again. Students will participate in a hands-on investigation and get up-close and personal with real decomposers.

Students use collaboration and communication to work through a challenge during a design and build. Your class will think like engineers while using the design process and see the creative and dynamic side of this important field.

During this workshop, students will become paleontologists and dig for fossils to learn how scientists study creatures that disappeared 65 million years ago. Preschool and Kindergarten students will explore the same content with an added literacy component in a special workshop–Little Big Dig!

Discover the objects in our solar system and their motion. Then get a close-up view of all of the planets!

Students will explore foundational coding concepts as they design algorithms to control robots. With a focus on creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving, participants will bring their ideas to life through interactive challenges and engaging technology.

Investigate the relationships between the Sun, Earth and Moon that cause the moon phases and solar eclipses. Students will marvel at how once in a lifetime events, like total solar eclipses, are part of predictable patterns.
