Ages 4-7
Students will examine atributes of two types of bridges: beam and
truss. Students will atempt to build a strong truss bridge using some
delicious materials! During the lesson extension, students will take the
bridges they created in the previous lesson and test their strength.

Jr. Aerospace Engineering-Blast Off & Up,
Up and Away
Ages 4-7
Students will get a glimpse into the world of rocketry and
aerodynamics. Students will design a model rocket using a straw,
clay, and paper fns and will test the design of their rocket using a
pneumatc launching device. In the extension Up, Up and Away,
students build their very own flying airplane.

Take a voyage to the center of the Earth!
We’ll investgate the powerful process that
shapes our planet and forms remarkable
rocks, magnifcent minerals, and glitering
gems. Our Earth is also affected by
weather and erosion. The forecast calls
for meteorological mayhem in the form
of thunderbolts, heavy winds, and the
occasional tornado-all produced in the safety
of the laboratory.

Examine a world within our own! Learn the
parts of an insect as well as how they defend
themselves. Experiment to fnd the ideal
worm habitat. Observe worms on the move
and learn why bees dance. Take home your

Aerospace Engineering-Blimp Blitz &
Parachutes
Ages 7-12
Students explore and apply the principals of buoyancy to create
a neutrally buoyant blimp that uses the power of air currents to
travel across the room. They will also have to engineer a functonal
parachute for a test jumper that must descend gracefully afer being
dropped from a tall height. Afer the testng phase, which is an
important part of the Engineering Design Process, students will be
able to improve upon their design.
