We will make many different paper air planes and fly them to see the difference in each. How high? How fast? Does it glide? Is it too heavy? Children under 9 should be accompanied by an adult.

Welcome to the amusement park - where we’ll be bumping, spinning, zipping and rolling! Discover the actions and reactions of bumper cars. Explore the forces at work when you spin. Create a zipline while investigating gravity. Design a roller coaster to meet a challenge. It’s all about the physics of riding ‘n’ rolling! Contact the library to register by by Wednesday, October 21. This program is in partnership with Scientists in School.

School-aged children can design and build a bridge out of paper. Test your project to see how sturdy it is. Children under 9 should be accompanied by an adult.

Discover the science behind things that make you go… ewww! Make “snot” and sneeze it while exploring viscosity, identify various animals from their scat (i.e., poop), and learn about digestion while producing a burp in a bag. Join us on a gross but fun-filled science adventure! Contact the library to register by by Wednesday, November 18. This program is in partnership with Scientists in School.

Children in upper-elementary can join us to make a pulley and see what they can do. Children under 9 should be accompanied by an adult.
