Due to the response of the offer for the first class I have asked and set up a second set of classes from Explora! This will noted as Session B, those that are already signed up for the first one should not switch or this will mess up the numbers we need to have the lowest price per student! Please contact me and do not contact the museum first or we will end up with two lists and that gets everyone confused (this happened with Session A). The cost is the same $49 per student, which works out to $3.50 per class, you must sign up for the entire 14 weeks to get the slot. We need a minimum of 16 students to have the class run or we will each have to pay more money because they have a set fee per class. Classes will have the same syllabus as noted below but class times will run Mondays from 1-2PM so they will start on the 23rd of January! We already have 6 students signed up for this class and I will make every effort to fill this but it is really up to you all to pass the word around! Please contact me to sign up and forward this to anyone interested!!==Tabitha Orr, 792-4110, email mtandg@yahoo.com

1.24.06 Air, Air Everywhere: Have you stopped to marvel at the wonders of the air around you? In this class students will “catch” air and see that it takes up space, use air to do work, and learn about the power of air pressure. Bubbles, pinwheels and paint help us understand more about the air that is everywhere!
1.31.06 Discovering Triangles: It’s time to give triangles the attention they deserve! In this exploration students discover the different kinds of triangles and their importance. We also use triangles to build three-dimensional objects.
2.07.06 Chemical Changes: What’s the difference between a physical and a chemical change? How do simple mixtures differ from chemical changes? Students explore these differences and investigate several fascinating chemical changes.
2.14.06 Balancing Act: Can you balance on one foot? Test out your sense of balance as you balance yourself and a wide variety of interesting objects.
2.21.06 Do Animals Play Hide and Seek?: Playing hide and seek with some camouflaged animals helps us understand how their natural environments disguise them. After discovering the importance of this type of defense, students design some camouflaged animals of their own.
2.28.06 How Does Your Garden Grow?: Plant seeds of wonder in your students! Discover the origin of a plant by dissecting a seed and finding out what makes it grow. Sow seeds of continued interest by taking student plantings with you to observe at school or at home. This exploration will grow on you!
3.07.06 Forceful Magnets: Investigate which items are attracted to magnets and which are not, and explore attracting and repelling with a wide variety of materials. Students make their own magnets, race magnetic cars and more.
3.14.06 Mirror, Mirror on the Wall: In this exploration students investigate reflection and symmetry as they compare their images in concave and convex mirrors, build kaleidoscopes, and make symmetrical art to take home.
3.21.06 What’s that Sound?: Explore sound waves and observe how they travel through water or air. Students feel vibrations caused by sound waves and experience these waves doing work.
3.28.06 No class due to Explora Spring Break Camp/APS Spring Recess
4.04.06 Simple Machines: Test your strength with levers and pulleys, and experiment with ways simple machines make work easier in this powerful exploration.
4.11.06 Pebbles, Sand and Silt: Get ready to sort rocks, dig in sand, explore clay, and look for living material in garden soil. Students discover how water runs through different earthy materials when they participate in the soil race!
4.18.06 Bodies in Motion: This full-bodied class sets students in motion—both physically and mentally. What else is in the starry sky besides the sun, the moon, and the earth? New stars may be born as students understand more about our sun’s family and explore how other worlds move.
4.25.06 Beautiful Bubbles: Use a variety of materials to experiment with bubble-blowing, and build shapes to test in different bubble solutions. Students observe the colors in a bubble and make colorful bubble prints.
5.02.06 Floaters and Sinkers: Roll up your sleeves and experiment with fruits, vegetables and other solids and a variety of liquids to classify floaters and sinkers. We’ll modify materials to make them float or sink, and design a foil boat that will carry a cargo of pennies.
