4 Program Themes
Colors, Prisms and Rainbows
Can you find the end of the rainbow? Use prisms to separate light into the colors of the rainbow. Mix and filter colors using scientific equipment such as test tubes and pipettes. Observe how sun beads change colors when exposed to ultraviolet rays! Make your own UV bracelet to take home as a sun safe reminder and fashion statement!
Animal Adaptations
Why are animals different? Students will explore different parts of animals in a hands-on activity as they decide how each animal uses each trait/physical feature. Students will hear a story about different animal adaptations and why the trait would be helpful or not depending on the animal. Finally, students will apply what they learned as they create their own clay animals.
Race Into Space
Discover how the universe and our solar system were made. Students will simulate the Big Bang Theory with balloons, hear a story about the formation of the universe, and design their own planet to take home.
Great Artists
Ready, messy masterpieces begin! Children will learn about painter Claude Monet and Impressionism by viewing a sample of this work and hearing a story. Children will then create their own version of Monet’s “Water Lily Pond.”
