Facts of the Matter
Matter matters! In this interactive program, students will explore the differences between solids and liquids by testing how various materials fit into containers, then observe how temperature changes affect substances like coconut oil. Through hands-on experiments, they’ll discover how matter changes state — and why heat plays a key role in turning solids into liquids and back again.

Animal Appetites
Our wildlife biologist is out for the day, and we need your students’ help to make sure the animals get the right dinner. Through video footage, size analysis, and a little math, students will piece together each animal’s correct meal.
Playing with Polymers
Learn the power of polymers! Students will dive into the wild world of polymers through hands-on fun with silly putty, instant snow, and jelly marbles. They'll explore real-world uses for these materials (like diapers and plastic bags), and learn how cross-linked molecules form all that gooey goodness. Science has never been so satisfyingly squishy!
