Investigating factors like temperature and solutes (salt) on surface tension by attempting to float heavy objects.
Senior hydrologists dive into the global water cycle, focusing on the Sun's role as an energy source and the massive influence of the ocean on weather patterns.
Junior scientists explore the diversity of Earth's water bodies, comparing ponds to oceans and investigating how water moves. Includes hands-on models of salinity and clarity.
Upper elementary students will master the difference between weather and climate through a statistical dice simulation and a severe weather engineering challenge.
Students in 3rd grade will engineer tools to measure wind direction and compare weather data across different locations simultaneously.
Students in 2nd grade will focus on measuring and graphing weather data by building functional rain gauges and analyzing temperature patterns.
Students in 1st grade will explore observable weather characteristics and how they impact daily choices through an engineering outfit challenge and a rain model.
A fast-paced, comprehensive review of middle school physical and life science concepts, featuring diagram analysis, scenario-based problem solving, and a virtual lab demonstration analysis.
