In this hands-on course, we’ll explore three fascinating scientific topics: cryogenics, the properties of water, and human perception. We will discover what happens to everyday items when exposed to extreme cold, even colder than the dark side of the moon. Water, often taken for granted, will reveal its unique and surprising properties through demonstrations and experiments. Finally, we’ll dive into the mysteries of how our eyes see and our brains perceive, uncovering illusions that challenge our sense of reality. Prepare to be amazed as we uncover the science behind the ordinary and the extraordinary.
Cold, Clear, and Confounding: The Wonders of Cryogenics, Water, and Perception
About Your Extraordinary Saturday (YES)
For 1st – 4th Grade Students
A New Adventure Every Weekend
MITY's program for elementary students enables inquisitive, high achieving 1st - 4th grade students to continue learning outside of the traditional classroom. Courses are intentionally designed to inspire inquiry, activate imaginations, and engage eager learners in hands on discovery that is not possible within a regular classroom setting. While students are in class, parents are invited to listen to professional speakers on topics related to raising bright children, socialize with other parents, or visit a local coffee shop.
