These interactive, instructor-led workshops are designed for your family or group to come and enjoy learning about a wide array of science topics. Admission to Pacific Science Center exhibits is included in the workshop fee.
Fossils Rock!
Become an amateur paleontologist! Explore fossils and the excavation process by doing a mini-dig, then investigate an unusual type of fossil preservation by creating your own "amber fossil" to take home. Learn how fossils help us understand the history of the earth and how our planet has changed since its formation. Follow the tracks of the dinosaurs and unravel the secrets of their footprints.
Unbelievable Bugs
Explore the incredible world of Bug Biology! Discover what makes insects different from other creatures as you investigate insect anatomy, experiment with insect eating methods, and explore your surroundings through the eyes of an insect. Join us for an un-believa-bug experience!
Spa Science
Discover the beauty of chemistry! Concoct a variety of beauty and relaxation products while exploring the chemistry of their creation. Make a scented bath fizz and learn how your brain, nose and olfactory system work together to allow you to enjoy your homemade fragrance!
Kite Building and Fun Fly
In this kite building workshop explore physics-flying essentials like gravity, lift, and drag, and investigate the symmetry and design that make kites sail. Then decorate, build and fly your own kite! Once it's up in the air, experiment with different assembly configurations to make your kite fly better and higher!
