February 7, 2023 |  1:00pm - 2:00pm – Astronomy

Registration Deadline: January 31st

Ages 5-7    Milky Way: The solar system is brought down to Earth as students learn about the planets! Young astronomers act out the movements of the sun, moon, and Earth to describe the patterns of night and day in this out-of-this-world program.  

Ages 8-11    Seeing Stars: Investigate the sun, stars, and the universe in our STARLAB planetarium! Check out the view from above to observe the patterns of the day and night skies before you come back down to Earth.

Ages 12-14    A View from Orbit: Let the planets and stars come to you in our STARLAB planetarium! Students will examine the reasons for the seasons, moon phases, and eclipses while watching the Sun-Earth-Moon system come to life. 

March 7, 2023 |  1:00pm - 2:00pm – Electricity

Registration Deadline: February 28th

Ages 5-7    Magnet Busters: Students experiment with natural magnets, man-made magnets, electromagnets, and a magnetic sensor to investigate and collect data on what types of materials a magnetic field will pass through.  

Ages 8-11    Hot Wired: Students learn the fundamentals of electricity while constructing multiple open and closed circuits, building electromagnets, and relaying messages on a real telegraph.  

Ages 12-14    High Voltage: Students learn the fundamentals of electricity while constructing multiple open and closed circuits, generating electric currents using magnets, and building electric motors.
