Earth and Space Science

45 Minutes • Laboratory Workshop Online | At LSC | At Your School Matter can be solid, liquid, or gas. But matter can also change! Observe phenomena involving some of the ways matter can change. Work collaboratively to construct evidencebased arguments on whether or not changes to matter can be reversed.

Alignment to NJSLS - Science 2-PS1-4 Construct an argument with evidence that some changes caused by heating or cooling can be reversed and some cannot. Connections to NJSLS - English Language Arts W.2.1 Write opinion pieces in which they introduce the topic or book they are writing about, state an opinion, supply reasons that support the opinion, use linking words (e.g., because, and, also) to connect opinion and reasons, and provide a concluding statement or section. Approaches to Learning Displaying Curiosity, Collaboration, Communication of New Ideas

NEW! Super Strong Shapes

30-45 Minutes • Laboratory Workshop Online | At LSC | At Your School Which shapes are not only strong but… super strong? In a hands-on program that blends science and architecture, build and test your favorite three-dimensional shapes and explore how an object’s shape relates to its properties and uses.

NEW! Leo the Landform Llama

45 Minutes • Laboratory Workshop Online | At LSC | At Your School Join Leo the Landform Llama on a treasure-hunting adventure! Journey across different landforms, observing the characteristics of each. Along the way, use these characteristics to differentiate the various forms of high and low land and answer questions to collect clues and find hidden treasure.

Alignment to NJSLS - Science 2-ESS2-2 Develop a model to represent the shapes and kinds of land and bodies of water in an area. Approaches to Learning Demonstrating Engagement, Use Skills in Reading & Math for a Wider Variety of Purposes

NEW! Voyage through the Sky

45 Minutes • Planetarium Program Online | At LSC Learn how to find the Big Dipper and the North Star in the evening sky. Hear stories about the stars. Take a tour of our nearest neighbor in space—the moon—then visit Saturn.

Alignment to NJSLS - Science 1-ESS1-1 Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted. Connections to NJSLS - English Language Arts W.1.8 With guidance and support from adults, recall information from experiences or gather information from provided sources to answer a question. 30-45 Minutes • Laboratory Workshop Online | At LSC | At Your School Our planet is constantly being shaped by events that can happen very slowly over time, or quite suddenly. Using a model to represent land, simulate how earthquakes, volcanoes, and erosion can change the shape of the land around us.

Fast Change, Slow Change

30-45 Minutes Science On a Sphere Program Online | At LSC Explore how Earth has changed over time using Science On a Sphere. Observe continents shift, separate, and collide. See what the planet looked like in the days of the dinosaurs. Examine ways in which the forces of wind, water, and ice have changed our planet gradually or suddenly.
