In addition to telescopes, astronomers also use computer simulations to study the properties of the Universe. In these series of short videos, we will showcase galaxy clusters and interactions, evidence for dark matter, and structures on the cosmological scales through visualizations adapted from real, scientific data.Learn about human anatomy and physiology. Enjoy biology’s faculty interpretation of a human anatomy-based museum. There will be hands-on activities as well as displays featuring models and real human organs.
Enjoy a fun and interactive exhibit in which you will build and take home a virus model, learn about growing native plants, and see some creepy crawly animals.
A fun workshop showing you fun experiments you can do with everyday household items. You’ll get to make your own cool colorful patterns with chromatography, and see the rainbow effect with acids and bases.
Complete an estimate of π using string and rulers, or use just a little trigonometry with calculators to slice a pie shape into more and more pieces to come closer to π a little at a time - then come closer to an actual piece of pie as your reward! Make a craft picture of a happy π guy to take home.

Pulsars are cosmic lighthouses that are observed to have pulses of radiation at very regular intervals. They form from the collapsed core of a massive, giant star. Join us to make your own pulsar model, learn about how stars live and die, and what makes pulsars unique in powering beams of light.
Assess heart rates, transfer fluids using a syringe, draw "blood" using a vial, and make your very own nursing hats.
Telescopic observation of the sun during the day using special telecopes.
Explore some of the surprising ways the physical world around us works! Your hair will stand on end, your eyes will be bewildered, and your muscles might just get a workout as you struggle against the forces of gyroscopes and mechanical advantages.
