We are coming up to the middle of winter, and chances are we will have had some snow by now.  We all know that snow is made of water, and that snowflakes are tiny ice crystals.  You may have also heard that no two snowflakes are exactly alike - is this true?  

In this winter-themed JAM, you will learn about physical and chemical properties of snow and ice, and what makes the solid state of water (ice) so unique compared to other solid objects.  You will also conduct friction tests on ice using different objects to determine which one slides the best.

Step back in time with our Little Explorers as we uncover the mystery of dinosaur extinction! Through fun stories, hands-on activities, and imaginative play, we’ll learn about the events that caused the dinosaurs to disappear millions of years ago. Perfect for curious minds ready to explore the prehistoric world!

We learned about some huge objects out there in space - some of which span tens of thousands of light years across!  What about the world of the small?  Are tiny things a big deal?  Well, tiny things we commonly call “germs” have had a huge impact on humans since at least the veg innings of our civilization.

In this first-ever microbiology camp, we will learn about tiny organisms called microbes.  It turns out that these things are everywhere on our planet - there are microbes living in deep sea vents at the bottom of the ocean, and there are microbes living in our eyebrows.  Most of them, by the way, don't harm us.  In this camp, we will learn about these tiny organisms.

Do your parents tell you not to play with your food?  Most of the time, that is good advice!  Sometimes, though, there are activities and experiments you can do that encourage you to do the opposite…like building a vehicle out of food!  You’ve probably done friction experiments with moving objects before, but this experiment is pretty unique.

You will design and build your own racing “cars” using different kinds of fruits and vegetables.  You get to choose which ones you think will work best for different components of your car.  What would work best for wheels?  How will you make an axle?  Finally, you will test your cars on ramps with different surfaces.   

Get ready for a fun adventure as we explore how the surface of the Earth moves! In this hands-on class, young explorers will learn about mountains, valleys, and the amazing forces that create them. Through exciting activities, we'll discover how Earth's folds and faults shape our world.

What’s your favorite sci-fi movie?  Did you ever wonder if the gadgets and advanced technologies you see in the movies could exist one day, or even already exist?  Well, it turns out some of these technologies featured in movies actually went on to become real...or at least somewhat real.  

While we haven’t invented time travel (yet?), there are some cool sci-fi technologies we can explore and experiment with in this camp.  Learn how to control magnetic fields, hover objects above ground, and make a certain glowing sword.  Even the things and ideas that have so far not come to pass - think telepathy, teleporting humans, bending space and time and traveling through a wormhole, bringing back dinosaurs - are interesting and fun to think about!

If you’ve come to any nature-related camps before, you know that a walk around our wetlands usually involves seeing insects.  They are very common animals - in fact, one quarter of all described species.on the planet is a beetle!  But what about the other invertebrates?  Spiders, mites, isopods (“rollie pollies”) and other invertebrates deserve attention too.

In this camp, we will learn about the “non-insects”.  Many of these little animals are also predators of insects, which helps keep their populations from getting too large and overwhelming their environment.  This makes them important for biocontrol, which we will do an activity for.

Do you play a musical instrument?  Do you sing?  Each instrument (and voice) produces a unique sound that can usually be differentiated from one another.  For example, the sound of a bassoon is very different from a flute, which is very different from a violin.  This is partly due to how high or low a sound is (pitch), but also the sound quality (timbre) and other factors.

In this JAM, you will learn what sound is at the most basic level.  With this foundational understanding, we will explore the different ways in which sound can be produced and why these variations result in the huge varieties of sounds we encounter in our everyday lives.

Join us for SciFun Saturday: World Anthropology Day on February 22nd from 1-4pm at the Museum at Prairiefire! Explore the fascinating world of anthropology and create your own teepee in this engaging and educational event for all ages. Free and fun for the whole family!

Discover the marvelous world of minerals and how we use them every day. Through interactive activities, stories, and hands-on exploration, children will learn about different types of minerals, their unique properties, and how they impact our lives—from the food we eat to the toys we play with. Get ready for a colorful and educational experience!

Think about the activities you do in a day, or even just in the morning when you get ready for school.  What senses do you use?  If you made a list of all the things you encounter even before arriving at school, how late ng do you think it would be?  Our senses are incredibly important to us, and it’s easy to forget how much we rely on them to navigate our day.

In this camp, we will learn about the five senses.  You’ve heard of them before, but we will conduct experiments that let us explore how they actually work.  As a bonus, we will also learn how our sense of sight can trick us by checking out brain illusions.

How many animals do you think you can spot on a nature walk?  Of course, it will depend a lot on where you are.  You’ll likely find more things at a state park than you will in your backyard.  Still, there are probably a lot of things to see in seemingly unlikely places…but those things are more likely to see you first because they blend into their environment!  

In this JAM, you will learn about camouflage.  You may know what camouflage is, but what makes certain patterns work so well in one environment and so poorly in another?  Something else to think about: what happens when you take a camouflaged object from land and move it into the water?  You will look at different camouflaged specimens, make your own camouflage animal patterns, and explore what makes them unique. 

Join us on a fun adventure to learn all about rocks! In this hands-on class, young explorers will discover the three types of rocks—igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic—and how the rock cycle transforms them. Through interactive activities, we’ll uncover the secrets of how rocks are made and changed over time.

Think about all of the machines you use on any given day.  How do you think you would do without them?  Our automated/electronic machines are pretty new, but there are a lot more objects that don’t require batteries or electricity that humans have relied on for hundreds of thousands of years.

In this camp, you will learn about different types of machines that humans have used and how they work - dating all the way back to the first hand tools made from rocks.

Do you like to know how machines work?  Even our most intricate modern machines boil down to a handful of basic simple devices, such as the lever and pulley.  You encounter these simple machines in your daily lives, such as when you open a car door (lever) to hop in and go for a ride.

On the first day of this multi-day camp, we will learn about all of the simple machines and how to construct them.  From then on, you will use this knowledge to construct a Rube Goldberg Machine.  These contraptions use multiple simple machines chained together to accomplish a task, and you will work as a team to create a machine to perform a special task!

If you dig in a patch of dirt, what do you find?  Depending on where you dig, you will likely find different living things crawling in and around your sample.  What would you expect to find in a sample of wetland soil vs, say, a sample of sandy soil?  If you think about what all living things need to survive, this can give you clues to answer this question.

In this JAM, you will look closely at samples of soil collected from different habitats.  While we often barely notice what is living under our feet, the tiny soil invertebrates play a huge role in the diversity and health of the habitats we interact with everyday. 

Celebrate SciFun Saturday: World Water Day on March 22nd from 1-4pm at the Museum at Prairiefire! Discover the importance of water recycling and enjoy hands-on activities like creating water bottle bubbles and art. Fun and educational for all ages!

What powers objects to move?  We rely on a lot of devices that use energy in some form.  Energy is everywhere around us, and humans have figured out how to utilize energy in its different forms to power our societies.  In this camp, we will learn what energy is and how it can transfer from one form to another.

Earth is our only home for now, but that could be changing soon.  According to NASA, astronauts might land on Mars to explore it as early as the 2030s. 

For centuries, people have wondered about other planets and what we might find there if we visited them.  If you were suddenly transported to an unknown, alien world, how would you survive?  What’s the first thing you would do?  How would you make use of any raw materials your planet has?  Should you even go, or would it be too dangerous?  If we did go, would we just end up damaging the planet?

In this summer camp, you will come up with ideas that could answer these questions.  You will conduct experiments, make crafts, and learn what it might be like to be among the first to step on another planet.

Earth is our only home for now, but that could be changing soon.  According to NASA, astronauts might land on Mars to explore it as early as the 2030s. 

For centuries, people have wondered about other planets and what we might find there if we visited them.  If you were suddenly transported to an unknown, alien world, how would you survive?  What’s the first thing you would do?  How would you make use of any raw materials your planet has?  Should you even go, or would it be too dangerous?  If we did go, would we just end up damaging the planet?

In this summer camp, you will come up with ideas that could answer these questions.  You will conduct experiments, make crafts, and learn what it might be like to be among the first to step on another planet.

For students entering grades 3rd - 5th grade

Drop-off for camps is from 8:30-9:00 and pick-up is from 3:00-3:30.

Have you ever found a fossil? Were you able to identify it? Before fossils were formally studied only hundreds of years ago, someone may have identified your fossil as a preserved dragon bone or even a bolt of lightning turned to stone! 

We’ve come a long way in our understanding of what fossils are, where we can find them, and what they can tell us about Earth’s past environments. In this paleontology summer camp, we will explore ancient organisms and the environments they lived in. You will learn where to find fossils and how to tell, just by looking at how well preserved it is, how the plant or animal may have died. We will also learn about some of the most famous fossil-finding sites in the world, as well as how to dig for fossils yourself.

Learning about oceans and ocean weather might sound strange given that we are in the middle of the country, but you may remember that Kansas was covered by an ocean multiple times. We have only fossils left to tell us about our ancient marine past, but there are plenty of modern oceans around the world to study.

In this oceanography camp, we’ll learn what makes ocean environments unique from land environments and how vitally important oceans are to life all around the planet. Approximately 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered in oceans, so it’s not difficult to imagine the impact they have, whether it’s hurricanes causing damage on coastlines, waves shaping huge rock structures, or plankton releasing oxygen. You will also learn about the impacts humans have made on oceans and what ocean scientists are doing to try and protect them for future generations.

In this oceanography camp, we’ll learn what makes ocean environments unique from land environments and how vitally important oceans are to life all around the planet. Approximately 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered in oceans, so it’s not difficult to imagine the impact they have, whether it’s hurricanes causing damage on coastlines, waves shaping huge rock structures, or plankton releasing oxygen. You will also learn about the impacts humans have made on oceans and what ocean scientists are doing to try and protect them for future generations.

For students entering grades K - 2nd grade

Drop-off for camps is from 8:30-9:00 and pick-up is from 3:00-3:30.

What makes something living vs. nonliving?  The answer is probably harder to pin down than you think.  In fact, there are still biologists today that debate over this question.  This is just one of the questions you will attempt to answer as you learn about the different living organisms around the world.  Closer to home, there is a variety of life just behind the museum in our wetland and prairie habitats to observe and study.  

In this biology camp, we will learn what makes the Earth so unique from any other planet we know of (so far): its huge abundance of life.  From the tiniest bacterium, to blue whales, to a network of fungi that spreads for miles around its center of growth, the Earth is full of life.  You will take a close look at organisms, both past and present, that can be found just in and around our museum.  You will learn how to identify them as well as learn what they can tell us about our environment.
