June 12 - Fun-Damental Forces
Gravity, inertia, centripetal force… who could ever imagine that an introduction to physics could be so much fun?! We will experience these awesome forces for ourselves and build some cool devices to watch them at work!
June 19 - Harnessing Heat
This week we will learn and observe the basic properties of heat by play-acting the role of atoms, as well as observing the effects and behavior of warm air and water. The children will witness a tea bag rocket launch, a gravity defying candlelighting, and even take part in a sense confusing
temperature test. The course is capped off with a taste bud pleasing demonstration of heat at work, transforming solid sugar crystal into the spun floss of cotton candy!
June 26 - Under Pressure
Join Bernoulli and Newton as we take this exciting look at the science behind aerodynamics and the properties of air… under pressure. Use a vortex generator to create air pockets with a punch, and levitate ping-pong balls in defiance of gravity!
July 10 - Minute to Win it
This week your kids will compete in Meadows Minute to Win It! We will have an entire afternoon full of silly games and crafts. No one stands still for this great day; it will be time for a nap, or a quick swim at the pool after this fun afternoon!
July 17 - Super Sticky Stuff
Stick it to the walls in this adhesive hour on things that cling! Push the power of tape to the limits! Explore mechanical adhesion alongside chemical adhesion!
July 24 - Up, Up and Away
This spellbinding special event introduces children to the principles of air and pressure. Hot air balloons, vortex generators and even a hovercraft will help children understand the power of air.
July 31 - Star Lab
The Children’s Museum of Denver will be visiting The Grange and they are bringing their Star Lab! This portable planetarium measures 18 feet high and covers 25 square feet.

This is one exciting journey that you definitely don’t want to miss!
