YOUTH VARIETYScienceWicked Science Lift Off EngineeringCalling all 4th and 5th graders! Do you love howrockets blast into space or wonder what it wouldbe like to parachute down to earth? We willbuild and test rockets and airplanes and discover what makes asuccessful flight. Find out the physics behind the forces of flight.Build parachutes and marshmallow catapults and chart yourdistances to determine the winner! We will learn about importantengineering careers and discover technologies that exist in oursociety to help deepen our scientific skills.Grades: 3-5Code Dates Day Time R/NR251902-1 9/14-10/19 M 5:00-6:00p $100/125251902-2 10/26-12/14 M 5:00-6:00p $100/125No class 11/23Sullivan Community Center, Meeting Room ANEWWicked Science Girls and STEMSTEM (Science, Technology, Engineering andMath) is all around us and this class will take youfor a ride on a mag-lev (magnetic levitation) train.We’ll check out what engineers do to make rollercoasters death-defying thrills! And we’ll make our local palacesand castles - er = homes light up with circuits! Each day will havehands-on activities and find out how they help us in our world. Youwill be amazed at what you will find!Grades: 4-5Code Dates Day Time R/NR252001-1 9/16-10/21 W 5:30-6:30p $100/125252001-2 10/28-12/9 W 5:30-6:30p $100/125No class 11/25Sullivan Community Center, After School RoomNEWWicked Science Engineering RollercoastersTrains powered by magnets? Rollercoasters andscience? Yes! You will make all kinds of importantdiscoveries in this exciting session whileexploring the science behind roller coasters and trains that workwith magnetic levitation. As part of the Wicked Science ‘Systems’unit we will be covering basic physics and engineering while havinga ton of fun!

Plastic bags andtennis shoes are examples of polymers. We’ll mixand measure to create our own polymers usingsafe ingredients in our chemistry lab. Do youknow what a colloid is? Did you know that milk and ketchup arecolloids? We’ll make our own colloids and find out what theirproperties are and how they are different from polymers. We’llalso work with acids and bases for some surprising results!Grades: 1-5Code Dates Day Time R/NR252101-1 9/15-10/20 Tu 5:30-6:30p $100/125252101-2 10/27-12/8 Tu 5:30-6:30p $100/125No class 11/24Sullivan Community Center, Meeting Room ANEWQuestionsQuestions about Youth Programs?Contact Jay Bullman,Recreation Supervisor, at847.996.6807 orjasonb@vhparkdistrict.orgSave a Class!
