Students will experiment with different tools and use observation and questioning skills to develop a better understanding of the properties of light and sources of natural and artificial light.

Group 2 (ages 9+): Workshop – Space Launch Challenge

What do scientists and engineers do to make their ideas a reality? They use their knowledge of scientific concepts and rigorous experimentation. In this workshop, students will apply basic concepts of physics to design, prototype and launch a simple rocket.

• Program includes outdoor portion so need to dress appropriately for weather

Please Note for Group 2:

-The group 2 workshop needs to bring 2L pop bottles for their rockets (1 per 3 kids) but I can post about that or email parents
