The goal of this SEC program was to walk our scientists through the history of animation, to showcase a variety of models of optical illusion toys/devices in a touch & learn lab, and to create some animation magic of our own! Read more >
With the release of the new Angry Birds movie this summer, I thought it would be a fine time for our scientists to revisit a classic program: catapults. Read more >
I thought a perfect science complement to our Summer 2019 Theme of “A Universe of Stories” would be a stellar galaxy slime program! Read more >
Spring is in the air, so I thought this would be the perfect time of year for our Science Explorers Club to focus on the topic of Energy (potential and kinetic). Read more >
Spring is in the air, so I wanted to revisit a crowd-pleasing program for my crew: balloon science! With a few simple activities and a pile of balloons, we talked about air pressure, the properties of polymers, centripetal force, friction, AND Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion! Read more >
Even though “natural selection” is not a topic that lends itself to take-home projects, there are so many interesting case studies/examples to explore…and some fun group activities to test our understanding of the topic… Read more >
In January, for the first time ever our Science Explorers Club investigated “senses” – in particular, scent and taste… Read more >
The SEC scientists and I tackled simple circuits and did a fun project to put our new knowledge to work… Read more >
In October’s SEC, Prosser’s young scientists discovered (and showed) that baking is also another form of science!… Read more >
What better way to have some summer fun than playing with polymers and making our very own BOUNCY BALLS! That’s right. With a few easy to find ingredients, our scientists were able to create their very own bouncy balls. Now, our bouncy balls didn’t have quite the “spunk” of the classic bouncy balls you find […] Read more >
