Activities

DNA Models

In this workshop, we focused on DNA and the essential role it plays on the human body, along with other organisms. Children participated in the making of an imitation of DNA in the human body.

Bath Bombs

This activity focused more on the chemical aspect of science. Through creating bath bombs that students were welcomed to take home, they were taught about the important reaction that play a key role in this workshop.

Peeps Science Experiment

Through this workshop, children learned the process of fermentation. In the workshop, students placed marshmallows into bottles and added yeast to them. Balloons were attached to the opening of the bottles, and measurements of how much the balloons inflates will be taken.

Toy Cars Lab

Newton's 2nd Law of Motion can be seen in different parts of peoples' everyday lives. In this workshop, children constructed toy cars and tested them on ramps of different altitudes. Through doing this, Newton's 2nd Law of Motion can be explained and understood.

Slime

This activity mainly focused on non-Newtonian fluids and the job they have in science. We explained the reasoning behind why is doesn't follow Newton's law of viscosity through basic terms that attendees can understand. Through the interactive making of slime, students were able to better understand this concept.

Windmill Designing

In this workshop, children created miniature windmills. Innovation and trial-and-error were exemplified by attempting to make the most efficient windmill blades. Students were able to see the technological perspective of science, which allows our society to advance. They were supplied paper, scissors, and markers to make their own personalized windmill and blades.

Elephant Toothpaste

Children learned how to create elephant toothpaste to explore the reaction between sodium iodide and hydrogen peroxide. Students were in a controlled environment and learn about this interesting chemical reaction that demonstration of a catalyzed chemical reaction.

Lava Lamps

In this workshop, we focused on the science behind lava lamps. This experiment taught students about the differences in density and how it plays a role, not only in this cool setting, but also in the world all around us. By simply adding an Alka Seltzer tablet, the oil added came to life for an educational yet engaging lesson.

M&M Experiment

The M&M experiment was an interesting way to model the diffusion of molecules, and how the sugary and colorful coating of the candy attractes to water molecules. Students were provided with colorful M&M's, water, and plates the experiment come to life.

Earthquake Shake

Earthquakes are a devastating natural disaster that many people and places have to painfully endure. In this workshop, kids learned about how Earth's constant changes can lead to immediate changes that we can see and feel, such as earthquakes. They were be able to create a model on how such earthquakes can effect even the strongest buildings and cities and how fundamental it is to have a strong foundation.

Lung Model

Every moment, every second, we breath. It's an simply an absolute necessity to living! But how? In this workshop, we led the construction of a model that demonstrated almost exactly how our bodies can take in oxygen from the air around us. This understanding exposed students to one of the many astounding functions our bodies have and perform on a day-to-day basis.

Snow Fluff

In this experiment, participants were able to create snow- in April! They used cornstarch, shaving cream, and other materials to form a playdough like substance that had a texture similar to that of real snow. Through the workshop, they were educated on the science of surface tension and mixtures, an important concept that affects everyone's lives today.

Catapult Challenge

Students will build their very own catapult out of everyday items like popsicle sticks, rubber bands, and spoons. Through innovation and creativity, their goal is to be able to create a catapult that can fling a ball the furthest across the room.

Bouncy Ball

At this exciting workshop, we invited students to make bouncy balls out of a substance similar to slime. Through this interactive activity, participants will be able to have a better understanding of the bonds between molecules and the effects of them.

Layers of the Ocean in a Bottle

There are many, many unsolved mysteries that continue to intrigue the public and scientists. One of the biggest mysteries is the ocean. However, what we did know about the great seas are the layers it contains. Through creating an imitation similar to the basic structure of the ocean, attendees were able to learn more about the waters they see at the beach. Perhaps through this workshop, students will find an interest in researching about the ocean in the future.

Lemon Volcano

This experiment focused on a concept that is often overlooked: acid-base reactions. Participants were taught the 'basics' of the pH scale and understand why they are important in our daily lives. Through the creation of a lemon volcano, they were further able to recognize how substances with different levels of pH interact when put together.
