 Winter Camp: Cool Science
Spend your winter break with MiaSci as we explore the science of all things cool!

Explore the snowy cold lands of the Arctic and Antarctic as we observe the world of penguins and polar bears and participate in icy experiments that illustrate how animals adapt to survive in this extreme habitat.

Cool off in the world of prehistoric animals, investigate a time when the world was covered in glaciers, and learn how the ice age and global warming are related.

Friday, December 23: Extreme Temperatures
Perform some amazing cold-weather, hands-on experiments with liquid nitrogen and dry ice, learn about cryogenics – the study of very low temperatures (-238° F and below), and how materials behave at these temperatures.
Monday, December 26: H20 on the Rocks
Explore the chemistry of water and it’s special properties as it changes state from liquid to solid to gas and back again.
