Description
Feb 12, 2020 Homeschool Day at the Science Mill- Engineering
The Science Mill’s monthly Homeschool Day focuses on careers in engineering:
- use your engineering skills to take wild ideas from design to reality
- A roller coaster for marbles!
- A maze for robots!
- Catapults that play catch!
- Challenge yourself to build crazy contraptions from unusual materials, including a sky-high tower from bamboo skewers.
Learning Labs
Kinder-2nd Grade - Parachute Launch, 10:30am, lasts 45 minutes
Be an engineer and build a parachute! Then test your design at the Science Mill launch pad. Can your parachute safely deliver your LEGO person to the landing target?
3rd-5th Grade - Roller Coaster Ride, 11:30am, lasts 60 minutes
Work as an engineering team to build a roller coaster with at least one loop and one jump. See if your marble “rider” can successfully maneuver all the twists and turns to reach the end.
6th-12th Grade - Catapult Catch, 1pm, lasts 60 minutes
Engineer a crazy game of catch: Work together to build a catapult that will launch an aluminum ball -- then design and create a second device that can catch it!
Plus, students can explore the museum’s 50+ unique exhibits and see “Incredible Predators 3D”.
Homeschool activities will run 10am-2pm, the museum will be open 10am-4pm.
