Plymouth-Canton Community Schools

Join the Nutty Scientists for our extended aftercare and science enrichment program with a focus on problem solving and constructing! The students will spend most of their time in our classes getting creative with designing and building our fun inventions. Join us for 6 weeks of STEAM with a special emphasis on the "E", or Engineering, aspects of the scientific world!

Week 1 - Vroom Vroom Velocity- Students create projects using one of our six simple machines… the wheel! Then we will explore motion, direction, acceleration, speed, and of course velocity!

Week 2 - Marble Maze- Another simple machine we’ll be looking at is the inclined plane. Students will create a moving ramp in an obstacle course for a little marble.

Week 3 - Architect Challenge- We will be building our own designs to create the tallest, widest, and sturdiest of structures!

Week 4 - Catapults- Students will learn about Accuracy, Precision, and how to LAUNCH!

Week 5 - Need for speed- Talk to me, Goose… This lesson our students will explore not just planes, but helicopters and gliders as well! Paper planes get taken to a whole new level with the Nutty Scientists!

Week 6 - DIY Robots- Students will make their very own robot using a simple circuit system. This robot's job: make art!
