PROGRAM DESCRIPTION |
| SEEDS | 2nd-3rd | Students learn about the many varieties of seeds, the uses of seeds, including the many kinds if seeds people eat. They also explore the parts of a seed and how seeds travel. Finally, students plant special seeds as they create their own "Chia-People" |
| INSECTS | 2nd-3rd | In this program, students learn about all the different parts of an insect and what makes insects unique from other animals. They then learn about beekeeping and get an up-close look (and feel!) of several harmless, large rainforest insects. The lesson concludes with a honey taste test. |
| OWLS | 3rd-5th |
After learning about the many special adaptations that owls use to hunt and survive in the woods, students work in pairs to dissect a real owl pellet (a sort of "hairball" that owls spit up.) Students explore real fur and bones as they learn about food chains. |
| MATTER | 3rd-5th |
During this lesson, students get hands on demonstrations that show what matter is and the differences between solids, liquids, and gases. A gas powered cannon is then constructed. As a final demonstration, each student makes their own batch of a polymer slime to take home. |
| ELECTRICITY | 4th-5th |
This program demonstrates where electricity originates and how it is used to power motors and make toast. Students learn how a battery makes electricity and how lightbulbs work. The program wraps up with the demonstration of a 500,000 volt lightning storm. |
| MINERALS | 4th-5th |
Each student will get their own mineral kit to use as they learn what a mineral is, how scientists tell one mineral from another, and the many ways that minerals are used in our everyday lives. |
|
All programs are
45-60 minutes long and each lesson has a hands-on activity for each
student to participate in. (except the electricity program)
