Sensing and Responding: Biomes
GRADE 4
LIVING SCIENCE | SUSTAINABILITY
What are biomes and how do living things sense, respond, and adapt to their changing environments? Let’s make our own biome and discuss how we will keep our biomes healthy and active!
60 MINUTES
Temperature and Particle Movement
GRADE 4
MATTER | ENERGY
What are the phases of matter? How does temperature affect particle movement? Let’s raise the temperature in this program and find out with some hands-on chemistry experiments!
60 MINUTES
Transforming Energy
GRADE 4
ENERGY | SUSTAINABILITY
Can you name the different forms of energy? We know energy is important, but how do we make energy work for us? Discover the many ways to transform energy into useful electricity from different sources.
60 MINUTES
The Earth, Sun, and Moon
GRADE 4
ASTRONOMY | LIVING SYSTEMS
What are some of the local changes caused by the Earth’s axis, rotation, and orbit? How do these observable patterns affect living and non-living systems on Earth? Let’s explore these questions and more under the night sky in the Planetarium dome!
This program is only available for classes visiting OSC.
60 MINUTES
Human Anatomy (1)
GRADE 5
LIVING SYSTEMS
Let’s explore human anatomy and learn the basic structures and functions of the digestive, respiratory, and circulatory systems using hands-on science!
60 MINUTES
Human Anatomy (2)
GRADE 5
LIVING SYSTEMS
Let’s explore human anatomy and learn the basic structures and functions of our musculo-skeletal system using hands-on science!
60 MINUTES
Solutions, Solubility, and Mixtures
GRADE 5
SOLUTIONS
What is a homogeneous mixture? How are they useful and can you separate them? Let’s mix our own solutions, conduct separations, and discuss the properties of solutions!
60 MINUTES
Simple Machines
GRADE 5
ENERGY | MOVEMENT
How do machines transfer force and energy? Use simple machines (levers, pulleys, wheels, inclined planes) to complete challenges and solve problems!
60 MINUTES
Oil Spill
GRADE 5
EARTH SYSTEMS | SUSTAINABILITY
Can you explain the rock cycle? Earth materials change as they move through the rock cycle, but how is oil created? Let’s design, build, and test a pipeline constructed across and around many obstacles. We will simulate an oil spill, discover different methods for cleanup and restoration, and discuss how we can act as stewards of our environment.
60 MINUTES
Human Anatomy (3)
GRADE 6
LIVING SYSTEMS
Let’s explore human anatomy and learn the basic structures and functions of the excretory and nervous systems using hands-on science!
60 MINUTES
Heterogeneous Mixtures
GRADE 6
MATTER
Everyday materials are often mixtures, but how do we separate them? Let’s scientifically determine the properties of different materials then use your skill and imagination to manipulate and separate them.
60 MINUTES
Newton's Laws
GRADE 6
ENERGY | MOVEMENT
Let’s investigate Newton’s 3 Laws of Motion. Learn the relationship between force and motion with hands-on activities!
60 MINUTES
Our Galaxy - The Milky Way
GRADE 6
ASTRONOMY
Let’s discover the Milky Way and the components of our solar system. We will discuss the overall scale and structure of our universe under the night sky in our planetarium dome!
