PROPERTIES of
MATTER INQUIRY
Your students will learn about the properties of matter and how changes in matter occur. Students will enjoy a larger than life presentation that includes a Property-inator, flaming solids, air vortex guns and elephant toothpaste. They will also have 4 hands-on stations where they will test absorbency, design and build using solids/blocks to solve real world problems, and rescue items from the ice.
NGSS Aligned
We will discover the fundamentals of direction, speed, friction and unbalanced forces as they study the movement of a life-sized glider. Students will witness the phenomena of an inertia tower, see a Van de Graph machine in action, and be amazed by the magnetic field generated by our custom maglev train. They will also have 4 hands-on stations where they will use a wrecking ball, test friction, and design and build a magnetic levitating train that defies gravity . NGSS Aligned.
FORCES AND MOTION INQUIRY
3rd Grade
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
An inquiry session will start at approximately 8:30 am and will run about 2.5 hours depending on your grade level lunch and cafeteria availability. We can work with you and your school's needs to adjust the sessions length.
The maximum number of students per day is 120. If you have large class sizes, there may be additional fees or you will be required to book a second day. We want to maximize fun and organization.
With so much exciting science experimentation taking place, we will need 4-8 adult volunteers on the day of the event. Please plan to invite parents, grandparents, staff or teachers to join in the fun!
