This is an all new physical science workshop! You will construct many make-and-take items out of all materials supplied or easy to obtain. Participants will make a device to put a student inside a soap bubble, a pendulum lab, a simple pulley for simple machines, a fan cart, a climbing mouse, a flaming dollar bill, a standing wave machine, two persistence of vision devices, a curve ball thrower, a CD  hovercraft, a hydrometer, and chemiluminescence (light sticks). You will explore air pressure demos, match stick rocket, a bee that lights up with LED’s magnetism, Gro Beast with graphing, astrobright paper (acids and bases), tornado tube, and study the science of yo-yos and surface tension. Join us and discover effective strategies to harness your student’s natural enthusiasm.
