Planetarium Show:
Informed by leading edge science, the Frost Planetarium shows carry you to the far reaches of known existence, and spark the wonderment at the core of scientific exploration.
Lab:
You and your students can dive deeper into science with a 45-minute facilitated, hands-on learning experience in our Knight Learning Center. Students can choose from one of the labs below (minimum participant 8)
Elementary Lab: Motion of the Ocean
Students will gain a broader understanding of how ocean currents are a constantly moving, interconnected energy system powered by forces that play a key role on our planet. Drawing inspiration from a real-life serendipitous experiment with rubber ducky drifters, students will engage with a hands-on simulation model to observe how wind and landmasses affect movement for surface currents and plot data of paths taken as they monitor a drifter. They will then be introduced to how new technology can further aid science research by checking in on ocean drifters’ tracks as part of the Global Ocean Observing System and apply their new knowledge to predict future drifter tracks.
Middle/High Lab: Squid Dissection
Students will dive into a slimy (and sometimes smelly!) dissection that investigates the biology of one of the earth’s most highly developed invertebrates: squid. Students will examine and identify the special and unique features and adaptations these mollusks have developed over time to help them survive. They’ll also analyze the squid’s role in the marine food web along with the characteristics they share with their mollusk relatives. Don’t worry, the smell comes off‚ with a little soap and water—but the memory lasts forever!
Please Note:
Frost Science requires that all guests, ages 2 and older, wear an appropriate face covering in all indoor spaces, including those who have received a COVID-19 vaccine. Guests not complying with the indoor face covering policy may be asked to leave.
