Factory Direct Engineering and Anatomy

Well, snow got the best of us for one of our classes in February. But we are going to try it again! So enjoy some engineering, and also some anatomy in March!

And you could be part of the next LSF video! Check out the March 3rd K'nex Catapults class for more information!

K'nex Catapults - Can you build a catapult out of K'nex that fires the farthest? With the most accuracy? Will you build an onager style catapult, or a ballista, or even go for the counter-weight powered trebuchet? Design, build, and improve at K'nex Catapults. For ages 7 and older. Wednesday, March 3 from 1:00-2:00. $11/child (Members and Educator's Members receive 10% off.)

Interested in being in our video? Starting immediately after the K'nex Catapults class, from 2:00-5:00, the Lancaster Science Factory is filming a promotional video to be shown to schools and embedded in our website. You can be a part of it! Just stay after the K'nex Catapults class, or come in just for the video.

Chicken Wing Dissection - Raise your hand if there's a lot going on inside your arm! Muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments all work as a team each time you move. But how do they come together? Explore the inside of a chicken's wing to see the interplay of these systems. For ages 6 and older. Tuesday, March 9 from 1:30-2:30. $12/child (Members and Educator's Members receive 10% off.)

Cow's Eye Dissection - Oh yeah! It's disgusting, but so cool. Learn the parts of the eye and how vision works, as you work your way through a cow's eye. For ages 6 and older. Thursday, March 18 from 1:30-2:30. $12/child (Members and Educator's Members receive 10% off.)

Parents may attend with their children for free. Pre-registration is required, so call the Education Department at 717.509.6387 to reserve your spot.
