WEEK 9: Mon-Fri, Aug 11-15, PM 12:00-3:00
COLLISIONS AND PERCUSSIONS WEEK: Make a Mars lander with an egg passenger, drop it from three stories high, and make it survive! Learn about potential vs. kinetic energy and how to dissipate energy before the egg cracks. Learn how NASA lands heavy rovers on Mars. Use this principle to make the egg survive a "sudden deceleration" in "crash test eggs" experiments. Apply your new understanding to the science of billiards on the pool table, to candle pins in a bowling alley, to percussion instruments, and to making music by physical vibrations of a needle on vinyl, while celebrating National Vinyl Record Day on Aug 12.
SCI-TECH SUMMER MAKERS 2025
New England Sci-Tech Summer Makers are young inventors, coders, builders, and super scientists who love any kind of science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEM or STEAM).
For children entering grades 4 through 9 in the fall.
THEME WEEKS are for enrichment; they supplement, not replace, the regular weekly activities.
