In six weekly science lessons children will explore variety of subjects related
to the environment and Earth exploration, and find out about the science
connections to our everyday life. They will build exciting take-home toys
to continue their explorations with parents and friends. EARTHQUAKES
Has the world always looked as it does today? Does the Earth’s surface move
beneath us? Is there a scientific explanation for earthquakes and tsunamis? In this
earth science themed kit learn about the scientific theories for how/why mountains
are formed, the earth rumbles, and tsunamis wash away coastlines. Through
experiments and hands-on activities be introduced to the sciences of geology and
seismology, and learn how these sciences are useful in informing and helping people
to stay safe. WACKY WATER
Drink it, freeze it, boil it, splash it – It’s everywhere. It’s water! Taking up almost three
quarters of the Earth’s surface and making up 60 – 70% of all living matter on Earth,
you are never without it. In this Wacky Water themed kit experiment with density and
buoyancy, observer how ocean currents mix, and discover the difficulties of cleaning
up oil spills. A splashing good time is guaranteed. BUGS
Let’s get bug eyed! In this bug themed kit delve into the science of entomology – the
study of insects. Examine insects up close and discover what sets them apart from
other creepy crawlers; investigate their habitats and learn about their defense
mechanisms, and try out the insect-a-vision goggles. You will be a-buzz with insect
knowledge by the end of the hour. EARTHWORKS – ROCKS
Earth, it’s the amazing planet that we live on, but how much do you know about its
functions? In this Earth science themed kit learn about the layers of the Earth and
what occurs at each one. Also, through hands-on investigation, learn about rock
formation, decipher rock types, and discover why some rocks glow under ultra-violet
light. It’s sure to be a rocking good time! ATMOSPHERE
At-mos-phere, what is it and what does it do? In this atmosphere themed kit learn
about Earth’s protective shield, take the challenge to keep Arny the Aquanaut dry,
and create your very own sunset. Also, by comparing Earth’s atmosphere to those of
other planets, you will discover what it takes for a planet to be livable. WALLOPING WEATHER
Are you ready to become weather wise? In this weather themed kit become an
amateur meteorologist as you examine the reasons for seasons, investigate what the
different cloud types mean, and learn about the stages of the water cycle. For once
having your head in the clouds will be exactly where it should be!
