Messy Science

In this hands-on workshop for middle-school students, we will explore the beauty, mysteries and facts about our planet earth and will re-enact some of the physics, chemistry, and biology that make earth unique in the Known Space.  

Activities will be punctuated with sounds of boom, crash, zip and slime! We’ll investigate glaciers, volcanoes, earthquakes, landslides, permafrost, sea level rise and tsunamis and students will design things, test things, throw things, and stomp on things.

Using our newfound knowledge of our earth system we will use our imaginations to make our planet a more fun place.
