We introduced our new vacuum drop exhibit at the Safari Kid Danville Summer Camp for School Children. This apparatus complements the wind tunnel apparatus to teach about the effect of air resistance on how fast objects fall. It was inspired by the hammer-and-feather...
In commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo moon landing, LSSC has fabricated a scale model that uses LED light strips to track the trajectory of the rocket and space capsule—first around the earth, to the moon, around the moon, and then back again....
June 15, 2019 Over 700 people came to our exhibits at the June 15 Summer Fest Celebration at the Livermore Public Library. Kids decorated parachutes and attached them to a toy space capsule in recognition of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. They...
Hundreds of children and youth did experiments with our new vertical wind tunnel and water percolation apparatus at the May 4, 2019, Innovation Fair at the Bankhead Theater in Livermore. The wind tunnel interactive exhibit included the space-capsule parachute...
We introduced our wind tunnel interactive exhibit at a Boy Scout fundraiser on May 1 at the Bankhead Theater in Livermore. The speakers were two astronauts, Tammy Jernigan and Jeff Wisoff, and our exhibit had a space theme consistent with the event theme and the 50th...
We participated in the 2019 Science Odyssey held by the Livermore School District at Junction Avenue School. We provided two judges for student projects on February 27 and a hands-on display for the public event on the February 28. The hands-on display engaged...
We again operated our water percolation experiment demonstrating the scientific method of making and testing a hypothesis through experiments. This time, the experiment was supervised by two high-school students, who guided younger children through the experiment. ...
April 14, 2018: We displayed and discussed our development plans, provided a participatory water percolation experiment, and gave other demonstrations related to chemistry and geology.
