The Florida Museum of Natural History presents Science Surprises: Splash Into Science. In this program, participants will explore natural phenomenon and how they occur by understanding the nature of science. Attendees will become better observers and problem solvers while also learning to use their creativity and communication skills.
This series will explore the following topics.
Topic 1: Exploring the water cycle – Learn about the water cycle in this fun interactive game! See how water changes from solid to liquid to gas and travels around the Earth. Explore how plants use water and release it into the air. Join the adventure as a water molecule!
Topic 2: Exploring capillary action – How does water move up a plant from the roots to the leaves? This is called capillary action, and it’s a special property of water. This activity will show how water moves through coffee filters and washable markers because of capillary action.
Topic 3: Exploring surface tension – Did you know that some bugs and tiny organisms can walk on water? They can do this because of a special property of water called surface tension. In this activity, you will discover the answers to these questions and more!
Topic 4: Exploring density – Have you ever wondered how turtles can swim and dive deep into the water? It’s all about density and buoyancy! This activity will help you understand these concepts better by letting you build a density bottle with different kinds of liquids and objects.
