After School Science and Engineering Classes are available at Michigan Tech for students in 1st through 5th grade.
The students will take part in hands-on explorations taught by Michigan Tech science & engineering students and staff at the Great Lakes Research Center.
The six week classes will run from October 1st to November 6th from 4pm-5:30pm and will include Forest Fun and Chemistry for Kids.
Gr. 1-2 Forest Fun–MONDAYS
Students will engineer seed get-aways, investigate animal tracks, design feeders to help birds through the winter, examine leaf characteristics and create leaf art, and discover the many ways that animals survive the winter.
Gr. 3-5 Chemistry for Kids–TUESDAYS
Mix, dissolve, measure, and conduct experiments while investigating chemistry! Use red cabbage to explore acids and bases. Examine mystery matter—is it a solid or liquid? Become a detective and use chromatography to find out ‘who stole Herman, the bucktoothed guppy?’’
