Upcoming Programs:

Nov. 13, 2021 - Rockets 

How do rockets generate enough thrust to get into space, and what can we use as fuel to make our own rockets soar?  Test pop-fizz rockets and stomp rockets, and create take-home air-powered paper rockets while experimenting with forces in motion.

Dec. 11, 2021 - Astronomy

Make your own mini-telescope while exploring several major constellations.  Learn how the Hubble Space Telescope stays in Earth orbit and photographs objects out in deep space.  Step inside the Air Zoo’s STARLAB planetarium for a special presentation on our Solar System and the Milky Way galaxy!

Jan. 8, 2022 - Earth Rocks 

Test a variety of minerals, just like the experts do in the field. Discover why seashells are extremely strong, and sift and excavate your own take-home shells!

Feb. 5th, 2022 - STEAM Building Challenge 

Use your creative ideas and engineering skills to build structures strong enough to hold up to the “Billy Goat’s Gruff” and withstand hurricane-force winds.  Make objects soar toward targets after making mini-catapults! 

April 9, 2022 - Wild Weather 

Why do supercell storms and tornadoes form in certain areas around the Earth?  What can we do to prevent damage from flooding and high winds?  Explore these ideas and more using a stream table, dry ice tornadoes, and weather instruments.

May 14, 2022 - Materials Science 

Why do some materials work better for building airplanes, spaceships, and houses than others?  Experiment with polymers, metals, ceramics, and composite materials using electricity, heat, and light energy.

Don't forget - as an Air Zoo member you get discounts on camps and other exciting educational programming!
