Color Mixing (Pre-K and up)
Nothing is more fun for beginning scientists than blending and making things change before their eyes. This lab is all about colors, mixing, pouring, and analysis. Students will get to do their own filling, pouring, and mixing as we start with the primary colors and create the full rainbow spectrum. 30-45 minutes

Density Tubes/ Lava Tubes (Pre-K and up)
Density is a hard idea to grasp, until you see it in action. We use oil and water to make our own lava lamps. Sealing baby soda bottles, oil, water, and color tabs make this lab colorful and safe. Students can do almost all of it entirely on their own, with a little help from adults. 30-45

Spectroscopes (4th and up)
How can scientists identify the composition of a star — or the gas inside of a street light — by looking at its light? In this lab, we’ll build a spectroscope, a device that breaks up light into component colors. Students examine at least two “stars” to see if they can determine the elements that make them shine. 45-60 minutes

An interactive tour of the night sky, with our portable planetarium, we literally bring the colors of the universe and adventure to you! Our inflatable dome and projection system cannot only show you the night sky as it appears from Earth, but we can travel throughout the Solar System as well. We can even recreate a view of the sky from the Moon and can even show you the magic of an eclipse. Shows last thirty minutes and are performed every forty five minutes. Planetarium requires a room at least 20 feet per side with a ceiling of 10 feet high.
