Never took a physics class - or understood very little if you did? We can fix that! In a fast-paced class full of cool demos, we'll cover everything currently known about physics - and touch on some astronomy as well. Topics will include how science works, the physics of motion and fluids, electricity and magnetism, light, relativity, time travel, quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, black holes, the beginning and end of the universe - and how to throw a baseball!

No previous knowledge of science or poetry is required, nor are math skills. Come learn what a truly amazing, beautiful, and incredibly bizarre universe we live in.

Speaker:  Dr. Roger G. Johnston

Chemsitry is happening all around us- especially during the holiday season. Participants will explore exciting chemical reactions, mixtures, and changes in matter through engaging discussions and hands-on experiments. From fizzy reactions to winter-themed chemistry activities, this session highlights the science behind everyday transformation. Easy Going
