Renewable Energy Sources: Harnessing nature for solar energy, wind power, and biofuels.

Lilly and SBP institute will join booths under a partnership between the two organizations. We will create a series of hands-on, interactive or observational learning opportunities for a diverse audience, primarily (not exclusively) targeting pre-K, grad and middle school. Attendees will walk through different learning stations revolving around the concept of DNA structure and function, and effect of its modifications in biological models. Temporary tattoos, other giveaways will be available.

The Splash Science Lab provides participants with the opportunity to learn about the science of watersheds. Walk away with a better understanding of how water pollution affects humans, wildlife, and water resources in California. View specimens under microscopes, conduct water quality experiments, view interactive watershed models, and much more.

Fun for all at a benchtop demonstration of all things chemistry. Our “Mad Scientist” lab instructor will be guiding interactive demonstrations of color and sight, as we explore the chemical reactions between acids and bases. Kids can explore the wonders of pH, through a hands-on demo of familiar non-toxic solutions. Volunteers will teach and guide students through the demonstration, alongside educational posters and contests for pH prediction. Prizes and giveaways will be available for students.

In motion, hydraulics, bridges and more
