Description

Kids will unbox the surprising world of science as they discover a new STEM topic in each class! In this program, kids learn about several specialized areas of science, including forensics, meteorology, entomology, and mechanical engineering. They gain foundational science knowledge that will help them in their future science endeavors.

Additional Information

Bugs!
Kids engross themselves in entomology! They inspect authentic insect specimens. They update their insect anatomy know-how and match up insects with their habitats.
Detective Science
Kids play detective and help crack a case! They inspect fingerprints, mystery powders, ink samples, and DNA evidence. Then, they create a composite from memory.
Mad Machines
Kids see how simple machines lighten their load! They launch with levers, secure with screws, and work with wedges. Then, they use pulleys to move heavy objects with ease.
Movie Effects
Kids discover why science is the real star on the big screen. They create cool sound effects and toy with 3-D technology. They make motion pictures come alive when some still drawings get flipped or spun!
Science of Toys
What makes toys work? Kids learn about motorized toys and take a spin with kinetic tops. They balance a bird to reveal its center of gravity.
Walloping Weather
Get weather-wise. Uncover the reason for seasons. Create three-day weather forecasts. Stage a statically-charged indoor storm and spot the sun’s invisible UV rays.
