Biology and Anatomy by Digital and Actual Dissection
Students take this multimedia course to learn biology and anatomy through digital dissection of frogs. The virtual scalpel allows students to practice the same cuts they would make with a real frog. We will cover the major body systems: circulatory, control, digestive, endocrine, imune, nervous, respiratory and urogenital and discuss the similarities and differences between frogs and humans. The class culminates in an dissection of an actual frog.

Grossology and the Human Body
This program explores the slimy, oozy, scaly, and stinky (yet scientific) things that occur everyday in the human body. Learn the science behind boogers, snot, sweat, sneezes, gas and other indelicate topics that fascinate kids. Based on the children's best-selling book "Grossology" by Sylvia Branzei.

Future Engineers and Inventor's Workshop
Discover the work of simple machines like the wheel and axle, as well as the gear and pulley to solve everyday problems. Students will become a Jr. Engineers as they build simple machines to address difficult challenges and overcome incredible obstacles! Develop a machine to assist you in your quest to invent! Students will prepare a blueprint for an invention of their own! Decide what the need is that your invention will assist and develop your ideas to create it! This course is offered in partnership with Mad Science.

Shockingly Sticky Science
In Shockingly Sticky Science, students will learn Watts-Up with electricity and build their own static tubes, learn the marvels of magnets as they construct their own Magnet Maze, and get sticky with polymers (a.k.a. slime)! We will create our own soda pop and as a grand finale students will learn all about heat and get to make their own cotton candy to eat!! This program promises to be educational and entertaining. This course is offered in partnership with Mad Science.

Detective/Spy Lab
Step into the shoes of a detective — uncover the science involved in evidence gathering and analysis.  Student will use the powers of observations and investigative gear to find, collect and analyze evidence.  Students also become a super-spy.  They build binoculars, discover what it takes to keep things safe and how technology works in the spy game! They will take turns on short surveillance shifts to test their observation abilities and create their very own Secret Safe while challenging others to crack the code! This course is offered in partnership with Mad Science.
