The Science Curriculum

Learn how to use a compass, read a map, find your way in nature, and work with other navigational tools and methods.

Learn why some things float while others do not, what buoyancy means, and how propellers and sails work by building different boats and watercraft.

Build cranes and learn how they lift heavy loads at construction sites. Experiment with different types of cranes and pulleys.

The measurement of time is crucial to science. Learn how to tell time, and how analog clocks, digital clocks, sundials, and hourglasses work.

Experiment with additive and subtractive colors, mixing pigments, and the color wheel. Mold your own colored sidewalk chalk.

Elizabeth Keller, Creator and Author of the award-winning website ExtremeScience.com, will teach about animals. Attend the class LIVE via our interactive classroom technology.

Can you identify an animal by its footprint? How many animals are in your backyard? Can you hear an earthworm? Where do birds sleep? Learn about animals in your backyard and parks by investigating their natural habitats and tracks.

Join our Online Science Class on Cars. The event will be broadcasted live from Cambrian Go-Karts in the Bay Area. Cambrian Go-Karts is one of the foremost suppliers and supporters of the Go-Karting community.

As part of the class students experiment with wheels, gear ratios, and energy transmission by building tricycles, bicycles, cars, and motors.

Students located in the Bay Area are welcome to bring their science kit and join us live at Cambrian Go-Karts.

Investigate weather with experiments on wind, rain, storms, clouds, rainbows, temperature, evaporation, pressure, and more.

Blast off on a mission to explore outer space and the objects in it. Learn about rocket propulsion with balloons and chemically powered rockets. Build a telescope and star map to investigate the stars and constellations. Assemble a model of the solar system and learn about the planets that share it.

Find out how Earth's rotation creates day and night, how Earth's axis and revolution around the sun causes the seasons, and how the moon's rotation around Earth gives us the phases of the moon. See for yourself how meteorites formed the craters on the moon. Make a moon flipbook and a moon calendar. Build a sundial and a solar collector to experiment with the sun. Grasp a comet's tail and learn about how meteoroids become falling stars.

Leonardo da Vinci is celebrated as the inventor of extraordinary machines and mechanical devices that entered the common heritage of technical culture only several centuries after his death.

Join us for our upcoming online Physics Class at the largest, most comprehensive exhibit of the innovative art, science and engineering works of Leonardo da Vinci and his contemporaries at The Tech Museum of Innovation.

Learn about mechanical physics by building simple machines such as levers, gears, and pulleys. Discover force and motion and visit the hands-on and interactive exhibits, divided among themed galleries after the class.

Students in the Bay Area have the option to join us at the Tech Museum if they wish. Please bring your science kits with you.
