Guess what? Science can be fun! Find out just how fun by taking this workshop. You will learn about, collect, identify, and categorize rocks and minerals. We will even examine and prepare fossils. Then, during the second part of the workshop, we’ll explore Newton’s laws using rockets, bridge building, miniature roller coasters, egg drops, and toys to study concepts such as inertia and momentum, force and motion, collisions, energy and levers.

Subjects Covered: Geology and Physics.

Instructor: Mike Fergus – The Boeing Company
