WINTER 2022 SCIENCE SATURDAYS
|
Science Saturdays engages young scientists age 4 to 8 in exploring science in a fun, engaging, hands-on manner. During each workshop, young scientists have time to freely explore Lab materials, engage in the care of the garden plants and animals, and conduct science experiments/explorations related to our topic while being exposed to related scientific vocabulary. Science Saturdays meets from 10am to 11:30am on the dates outlined below. Advanced registration required, space is limited, and masks are required. ALL SCIENCE SATURDAY SESSIONS ARE FULL AND REGISTRATION IS CLOSED |

Fun w/ Physics
THIS SESSION IS FULL January 22nd, 29th, February 5th, & 12th Young scientists learn about physics as we fold, fly, float, and push our way through a hands-on exploration. We explore flight by folding and cutting traditional and nontraditional airplanes. Young scientists learn about buoyancy as we build boats and learn how and why things float. We explore forces we can't see such as magnetism (and more!). |
I Am A Paleontologist!
THIS SESSION IS FULL March 5th & 12th We take an imaginary trip into prehistoric times as we become paleontologists! We explore and identify authentic fossils, as we look for clues as to what life was like millions of years ago. Young scientists learn about replica fossils and create one of their own to keep. What else can be a fossil? We explore this question as we work with various authentic specimens. |
**Registration for Spring Workshops Begins February 1st**
Science + Art = STEAM
March 26th, April 2nd & 9th
We dive into a colorful exploration that implements scientific principles and taps into young scientists' creative side! We explore primary, secondary, tertiary colors and beyond. Just as we put colors together, we take them apart through the process of chromatography. Young scientist learn about (and participate in) the process of making paper while exploring textures. Finally, we culminate our science and art adventures by learning about a hydrophobic ingredient and creating unique works of art with it.

Our Amazing Planet
April 30th, May 7th, 14th, & 21st
Our planet is amazing! Young scientists explore geology and conduct a hands-on exploration to learn more about one particular feature. We explore the water cycle and water pollution. Young scientist learn about the importance of plants and trees as we explore botany and assist in establishing the 2022 Kiddie Science Lab Microfarm. We learn how Earth's systems are interconnected and what we can do to make a positive impact on the planet. This workshop session will involve outdoor time in our front garden area.

"There aren't a lot of classes that my daughter is willing to give up her Saturday mornings for but we have zero problems getting her excited about Science Saturdays. Miss Carmen is an engaging instructor that makes science fun. Each Saturday has a different theme. There is a lot of discussion around each theme, experiments, a snack, and typically a take home activity. I am always amazed at what my daughter has learned in the span of 2 hours of Kiddie Science. It's a great program for children that love science, children that have a billion questions about everything, and as a supplement to regular elementary education."
