Travel from pole to pole and dig deep into the amazing and extreme science of Earth. Discover the science of planet power, as we explore the processes that make Earth shake and quake and come face to face with the awesome power of tornadoes. From weather to volcanoes, we’re on a mission to prove that Earth science ROCKS!
Volcanoes - Volcanic eruptions are among the most spectacular events in nature. Children investigate the anatomy of a volcano and learn how the different types of volcanoes are formed. They then witness a miniature eruption and build their own sand art volcano model.
Shakin’ and Quakin’ - There is a whole lot of shaking going on! Find out the reasons for all the "rocking and rolling" that make our planet such a dynamic place. The children explore plate tectonics and fault boundaries as they make a magnetic puzzle of Earth’s plate system.
Storm Chasers - Known as one of the most awesome forces of nature, tornadoes still hold many mysteries. Children learn the reasons tornadoes and hurricanes form as they build their own vortex-making wind tunnel and view a tornado in a bottle.
Weather Watchers – Unpredictable, weather is an extreme result of planet power. The children leap into meteorology to learn how temperature, moisture, and air pressure make days rainy or clear. They then build their very own K’nex weather station able to track wind speed, wind direction, temperature, and precipitation
Extreme Earth – From the colossal heat of the desert to the frigid cold of the arctic, children discover how extreme the Earth really is. Children build a rotating, 3-D diorama depicting four of the most extreme biomes on Earth: the desert, ocean, arctic, and rainforest. They discover that the animals and plants have to be amazingly adaptable to survive in these harsh and unique environments.
