Super Science Saturday-January 30th, 2021
Super Science Saturday is being held virtually this year on January 30th, 2021. This year’s theme is Mechanical Engineering and there are so many fun activities planned!
miSci class information and schedule for Super Science Saturday:
Rosie Revere: Engineer (10:00 am - 10:45 am, grades K-2) Learn about the science of engineering through an engaging story and hands-on engineering project. Students build their own flying machine and get to test and improve its performance.
Nanotechnology (11:00 am - 11:45 am, all grades) The smallest things around us make a big difference. Through five different demonstrations, students observe and learn about how things at the nanoscale act in unexpected ways, and how these differences are harnessed by scientists and engineers to create the fascinating technology all around us.
Engineering Mission (12:00 pm - 12:45 pm, grades 3-5) Following the engineering process, students design, build, test, evaluate, and redesign a shock-absorbing system that protects two marshmallow “astronauts” while they land on the moon.
Fun with Physics (1:00 pm - 1:45 pm, grades 3-5) Physics is everywhere, even when we play! Students observe and identify different forces by observing Bernoulli’s principle, falling objects, gyroscopes, and more. In the second half of the program, participants create a helicopter toy to illustrate the principles that they have investigated.
