Tuesday, October 7th - Wacky Weather
Did you know that with just a little information and some different instruments that you too can predict the weather? Examine the different ingredients of the weather, do hands on experiments and create weather equipment to take home!
Tuesday, November 18th - What's the Matter?
Venture into the microscopic world of atoms and molecules as we discover matter and its many properties. Participants will discover atoms and molecules by participating in the Moleculariumô, building molecular models, and creating chemical concoctions during this introduction to chemistry.
Tuesday, December 9th - Countertop Chemistry
Join CMOST staff as we discover the chemistry that is in your kitchen! We'll do different experiments such as making spaghetti dance, freezing a banana with liquid nitrogen and making cool plastic polymers. Children will be immersed in the world of chemistry and explore the cool things it can do.
Tuesday, January 13th - Reptile Ins & Outs
What is a reptile and why do they have their own group in the animal kingdom? Join us in Operation W.I.L.D. as we learn all about this special group of animals, do a hands on feeding demonstration and much more in this class in biological science.
Tuesday, February 10th - It's Electric
Come and learn about the basics of electricity. Weíll explore static, experiment with a Van de Graaf generator and explore magnetics with various hands on experiments.
Tuesday, March 10th - Alternative Energy Investigations
Join us as we expand upon our knowledge of energy by investigating forms of alternative energy. We will learn the science behind solar and wind energy and then work to build model turbine propellers of our own.
Tuesday, April 7th - NanoScience
What is nanotechnology and why is it important? Join us as we delve into some of the science and concepts that play a role in nanotechnology. Weíll do hands-on experiments that get us up close and nano!
Tuesday, May 5th - What is In a Watershed?
Why does it matter what we do in our backyards? Where does that creek go anyway? Join us as we become stream scientists and learn what a watershed is, experiment with what happens to the water in your watershed and get our hands dirty during this cool class in environmental science.
