For our first science adventure, girls will put on their lab coats and detective hats to solve a mystery. Forensic science is the application of different scientific fields to examine evidence of a crime and adventurers will get to use chromatography, fingerprint analysis, and more to work out the mystery as a team.
Members of the UO Society of Physics Students will facilitate a morning of science fun! Possible activities include circuits, light, and rocketry.
Students will go to the University of Oregon’s Museum of Natural and Cultural History to learn all about ecology and adaptations. They will investigate ecosystems and learn how plants and animals adapt to changing environments. Students will then explore the adaptations that have led to human limb development.
Members of the UO Association of Women in Mathematics lead us in math morning! Go beyond arithmetic and algebra to see how math can help us understand games, puzzles, codes, and shapes.
Ever wonder how rocks form? What makes up the different rocks? How does water move through the ground? Students will explore the answers to these questions as they discover various types of rocks and minerals, form their own crayon rocks, and explore what causes landslides.
Get ready for a personalized planetarium experience with Science Factory's Planetarium Director Haley Sharp. Our planetarium explerience will include hands-on activities which demonstrate Earth and Space science concepts. Girls are encouraged to stay at Science Factory until NOON for a very special visit by NASA Astronaut Wendy Lawrence. Families of girls are invitied to join us from 11:00 to NOON for a Q&A session with Astronaut Lawrence.
