Kids 9-11 Years - Workshop Option A |
|
| Metrology: In the metrology lab you will use precision instruments to see how flat is flat and how round is round. How thick is your hair, or your finger? How big do things get when they get hot? Bend granite beams with a single finger! - MEASURE UP! | |||
| Cryogenics: Learn about the field of cryogenics, see the effect of cryogenic temperatures on everyday items, check out superconductor -levitating magnets, observe a short movie on super-fluid helium phenomenon and tour an operating cryogenic refrigerator - CHILL OUT! | |||
| Electronics 1: Build a continuity checker complete with test leads and indicator light. Work one on one with an electronics technician to strip, solder and assemble the unit that you will take home to determine the conductivity of everyday objects - ZAP! | |||
| Vacuum: Experience the discipline that is required to make a good vacuum. You will mount flanges and leak check a vacuum system. Then the vacuum group demonstrates the effect of a vacuum on different materials and objects from everyday life - SUCK IT IN! | |||
