- Brainstorm Challenges – Mondays when TCAPs is closed
Energy Bus – November 28th
Here comes the bus! Find out what energy is all about. With hands-on experiments we will explore electricity and magnetism. Compare how much power it takes to light a traditional incandescent vs. a compact florescent light
bulb. Find out which makes a better battery; a potato or a pickle. Live Energy Bus demonstrations at 11:30 and 1:30. The Energy Bus demonstrates solar and wind power. It also contains a Van de Graaff generator, which offers spectacular demonstrations of static electricity.
- Nano Days – during spring break – the biggest event for the smallest scale of science! We’ll take part in this national program featuring activities of science and technology on a nano scale (nano=10 -9; a nanometre is one billionth of a meter)! www.whatisnano.org
- Winter Break Programs include wacky science experiments with snow and ice, making munchies for our feathered friends, building a geodesic dome out of newspaper, and more!
- New Year’s Eve Countdown to Noon – For kids who can’t wait till midnight to celebrate the New Year! Make party hats, noisemakers, and time capsules, and count down 11:59 am to watch the ball drop!
