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!
Zip Lines
Zip through science! In this program, students will design their own zip line car to help astronauts return to Earth from the space shuttle — quickly and safely.
