Teaching kids how to make Concrete.
Mad Science of San Diego
We make it our mission to spark imaginative learning! Mad Science is the leading science enrichment provider for children in preschool through 6th grade.
San Diego Imperial Council BSA
The SDIC BSA STEM Committee and membership committee will have a hands on STEM activity to promote Scouting and our Nova/Supernova awards
From vacuum to volcanoes - nature's drive to mix it up!
Making matter move is nature's way of mixing it up and allowing chemical, electromagnetic, electrostatic, and gravitational interactions to occur. We'll demonstrate movement due to changes in vacuum conditions, formation of magnetic fields from inductive currents, and volcanic action. We will use a vacuum cannon, electromagnetic can launcher, and a demonstration of the coldest volcano on earth to show how nature mixes it up!
Amazing Science & Amazing Oceans
Display of information of our various programs and some sample make and take projects. Slime hands-on make and take activity provided.
Biodiesel & Algal Studies Group
Since 2009 Castle Park High students, with Dr. Pomeroy of UCSD, have learned to produce biodiesel from vegetable oil. Students use a particle counter to determine how “clean” the fuel burns and discuss how particulate impacts our global climate. Students present this field data to support the benefits of biodiesel. Our booth, as in years past, will demonstrate the step-by-step process of biodiesel synthesis, discuss the advantages of biodiesel over petroleum and outline the ease of production.

DINOSAURS
In celebration of our traveling exhibition, ULTIMATE DINOSAUR, we will explore all things dinosaur. We'll play the dinosaur brain game, bone match and more!
Project Cornerstone
We talk about the science of making concrete, while people get to make their own concrete. We will have concrete ingredients on the tables so that kids and parents are able to make concrete.
