Just a reminder--all meetings are held the 2nd Thursday of the month.
This month’s theme is AVIATION...
Peter Rowell will teach a mini-class on aviation and the science behind it.
He will cover many topics and answer as many questions as your children have.
All ages are able to participate. We will have workbooks for the kids and they will earn certificates for participation.
***Your kids will be able to try on authentic Navy Flight Gear (okay Dads, you can too)!***
What to bring:
A pencil or pen per child
FOOD! Please bring something yummy and heavy to share.
Bring your questions!
If you have studied flight, birds, drag, lift, etc or assembled airplane models; we would love to see any projects you have done! We will have a table for displays.

NOVEMBER EVENTS I need to make RESERVATIONS ASAP(we need to choose a weekday)
Museum of Industry, Baltimore,Md/ KIDS CANERY or
Design-It
Long before Legos™ or Erector sets®, children used wooden boards, tree limbs, cardboard boxes, blocks and even sand to construct buildings, vehicles and other gadgets. In this guided program, students are given a working design with appropriate materials and are asked to engineer a successful project. Working in small groups, students work through challenges and learn about experimenting, testing, making observations, asking questions and explaining what they have done and why. Choose from these projects:
§ Balls & Tracks - Kids get to create their own roller coaster tracks using simple materials such as pipe insulation and marbles to test out basic physics ideas such as gravity and friction. In each activity the students will get to create at least two, but often more different designs and then get to test them to see how well they work. Problem solving is key as the students will be responsible for figuring out what is and isn't working on their designs.
§ Balloon Powered Cars - Students first create a solid chassis of a car using cardboard, straws and skewers. They have to make a car that will roll straight down a hill. Next, they will get to use a new alternative energy source, a balloon, to power the car all the way across the room. Some will go far, some will go short, some will spin in circles. Students will be challenged to make their car go the farthest in a dynamic build off.
§ Paper Bridges - Children will use a paper and tape to learn about some basic building fundamentals as they attempt to create bridges that will hold the most amount of weight before collapsing. Ideas such as the use of beams for support and accordion like designs will be discussed and tested to see who can create the best bridge.
§ Wiring a House - Students use batteries and some Christmas lights to see if they can light up a 2-D house. Students will make the lights bright, dim and in between using series and parallel circuits to complete their tasks. (5th grade and up)
Ages: 2nd - 8th grades
Capacity: 30-40 per session
Duration: 60 minutes
Rate: $6.00 per student
Standards met for Math, Science & Language Arts
DECEMBER EVENT: RESERVATIONS required ASAP
THE NUTCRACKER ,Dec. 10th &17th at 9:30 & 11;15am

Cost $10 per person
There will be more field trips posted for Nov. & Dec. just need to reserve for these quickly,let me know!
Once again I appreciate any parent willing to be a group leader on the field trip you would like to participate in. This would entail: connecting w/all participants via email/phone to confirm trip(easy thru our website & me), making sure you are there at the field trip location, head count, and giving any other info to group as needed.
