12/30: Spy Academy/Detective Science
In Detective Science students are introduced to the science techniques used to investigate and analyze crime scene evidence. We begin training by observing a fictional crime scene. Their inquiry continues with a mystery powder analysis, fingerprint examination, ink separation investigation, and teeth impression match-up. They create a composite of a perpetrator from memory and then analyze all the evidence to determine which suspect committed the crime. Spy Academy uses edible messages and other ways of secretly communicating as the children decode clues to journey into the world of espionage. Communicate like a real spy with your Secret Code Breaker take-home.

2/18 Science of Toys/Fantastic Flyers
Children are introduced to the science of toys through toy-themed centers. Both familiar and novel gadgets are investigated. They discover how motors make toys move and play with tops to learn about potential and kinetic energy. Balancing toys are used to familiarize children with the center of gravity. They find out that opposite poles attract each other when experimenting with magnetic toys. Fantastic Fliers is an ideal combination of practical and theoretical knowledge, and the perfect introduction to the basics of aerodynamics. Students will learn about the four forces that affect a plane in flight: drag, gravity, lift and forward thrust; they will witness, experience, play with, and use these forces to their advantage in constructing incredible paper planes!

4/22 Slime Time/Che-Mystery
Slime Time Provides an entertaining lesson on polymers & their properties. These relatively complex chemistry concepts are introduced to elementary school-age kids in tactile, visually-engaging experiments. Students create cross-linked polymers based on their observations of the properties of polymers and cross-linking agents. Che-Mystery explores and explains various chemical processes and phenomena. Che-Mystery introduces students to this exciting, vital science—its importance in our daily lives, and its role behind the scenes in many everyday and not-so-everyday phenomena!
