SUMMARY:School of Rock
DESCRIPTION:“You’re in the band” with Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical School of Rock\, based on the hilarious hit movie. Follow Dewey Finn\, a failed\, wannabe rock star who decides to earn an extra bit of cash by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of straight-A pupils into a guitar-shredding\, bass-slapping\, mind-blowing rock band. But can he get them to the Battle of the Bands without their parents and the school’s headmistress finding out?  \nSchool of Rock is a loving testimony to the transforming power of music. May the spirit of rock be with all who pledge allegiance to Lloyd Webber’s newest hit!

DESCRIPTION:Join us all month long for the “Cycles of Change” in Science City! Featuring hands-on activities\, themed demos and educator-led programming. See the full list of activities below. \n\nJune Activities: \n\nCreative Corner: Zentangle Scratch Swirl – Using scratch paper\, create your very own zentangle using fun texture tools. Zentangles are abstract pieces of art that are created using simple structure patterns over and over. When you’re done you can take your artwork home with you. \n\nSOS: Seasons of the Solar System – Did you know that different planets in our solar system have seasons just like we do here on Earth? Learn more about the similarities\, and differences\, between the planet we call home and other celestial bodies. \n\nMaker Studio: Ammonite Shell Pendants – Use 3D printed ammonite shells\, jewelry wire\, and satin cord to create you a wire wrapped pendant. You’ll also learn about how ammonite shells grow and expand\, adding layers as the creatures get older and older. Plus\, you can take your pendant home. \n\nIn the digital lab\, guests can program a dash robot\, make their own stop-motion video\, learn how to build the strongest bridge\, and mix colors on the light table.   \n\nNature Works: Animal Chats – Join us at 11 am and 3 pm to learn more about our animals!             \n\nPeriodic Table: Stop by Periodic Table to see a variety of different scientific demonstrations. This month’s offerings are: \n\n·        From Caterpillar to Butterfly: Learn about the amazing transformation that happens when a cuddly caterpillar goes through its metamorphosis. \n\n·        Ultraviolet Ray Detector: Use UV beads to create a bracelet that lets you know when it’s time to step out of the sun and protect your skin. \n\n·        Sharing the Air with Plants: Take a microscopic look at how plants breathe\, and how they help us breathe every single day.

SUMMARY:Act Natural in Science City
DESCRIPTION:The curtain is up on kinetic thinking! Leap into a world where science and performance come to life. Our movement-based activities invite visitors of all ages to explore how your body balances\, reacts\, and performs while stepping into imaginative scenarios that make science feel like an adventure. In these high-energy\, interactive sessions\, we’ll explore the art of movement through dramatic play\, character creation\, and storytelling. Whether you’re acting out a scene\, building your own hero moves\, or solving a movement puzzle\, it’s all about learning through play. Discover how bodies communicate\, how motion tells a story\, and how fun it is to become someone—or something—else for a moment! \nSaturdays at 11:00 am & 11:30 am \nTapped Out Classroom (Haverty Family Yards weather permitting)

SUMMARY:Light Lab Grand Opening at Science City
DESCRIPTION:Light Lab is powering on! Join us at Science City in Union Station Kansas City on May 6th to explore Light Lab\, an exhibit that delves into the magic and wonder of the electromagnetic spectrum. This newest Battle of the Brains exhibit\, created by the bright minds of students from Delta Woods Middle School in Lee’s Summit\, Missouri examines light in all its \nforms — both seen and unseen. \nLight Lab spans over 3\,000 square feet and features the following interactive exhibits: \nSpectral Inspector: All elements have a unique emission pattern\, like a fingerprint. Visitors can use a spectrometer to identify certain elements based on their special light emission. \nCosmic Comms: Radio waves travel at the speed of light and can pass through walls and space. Guests can examine the science behind Wi-Fi and astronauts communicating with people on Earth. \nHarness the Light: When light passes through prisms\, it bends\, separating into rainbows. Visitors get the chance to experiment with prisms and have fun bending light. \nRefraction Action: Refraction occurs when light moves between mediums\, often distorting an object’s appearance. Guests can play with lights and different items to see how they interact. \nLaser Quest: Lasers are created when excited atoms release photons\, forming a concentrated light beam. Those up for a challenge can choose an adventure as they explore the properties of lasers. \nSilhouette Shuffle: Not all shadows are dark. Visitors can step into the light and have fun with their shadows as they shift\, overlap\, move and dance under various conditions. \nVivid Van Glow: Unleash the artist within. Art comes alive with the interplay of light and special reactive paint\, allowing guests to create captivating visuals that are picture-perfect masterpieces. \nColor Fusion: Visible light consists of red\, green and blue. Our eyes detect these wavelengths\, and when they mix\, our brains perceive different colors. Mix colors and see what new ones are created. \nVein Vision: When exposed to some forms of light\, veins absorb the light making them visible to the human eye. Those who are curious can take a look inside their bodies with the help of infrared light.

Visitors can step into the light and have fun with their shadows as they shift\, overlap\, move and dance under various conditions. \nVivid Van Glow: Unleash the artist within. Art comes alive with the interplay of light and special reactive paint\, allowing guests to create captivating visuals that are picture-perfect masterpieces. \nColor Fusion: Visible light consists of red\, green and blue. Our eyes detect these wavelengths\, and when they mix\, our brains perceive different colors. Mix colors and see what new ones are created. \nVein Vision: When exposed to some forms of light\, veins absorb the light making them visible to the human eye. Those who are curious can take a look inside their bodies with the help of infrared light.

SUMMARY:Light Lab Grand Opening at Science City
DESCRIPTION:Light Lab is powering on! Join us at Science City in Union Station Kansas City on May 6th to explore Light Lab\, an exhibit that delves into the magic and wonder of the electromagnetic spectrum. This newest Battle of the Brains exhibit\, created by the bright minds of students from Delta Woods Middle School in Lee’s Summit\, Missouri examines light in all its \nforms — both seen and unseen. \nLight Lab spans over 3\,000 square feet and features the following interactive exhibits: \nSpectral Inspector: All elements have a unique emission pattern\, like a fingerprint. Visitors can use a spectrometer to identify certain elements based on their special light emission. \nCosmic Comms: Radio waves travel at the speed of light and can pass through walls and space. Guests can examine the science behind Wi-Fi and astronauts communicating with people on Earth. \nHarness the Light: When light passes through prisms\, it bends\, separating into rainbows. Visitors get the chance to experiment with prisms and have fun bending light. \nRefraction Action: Refraction occurs when light moves between mediums\, often distorting an object’s appearance. Guests can play with lights and different items to see how they interact. \nLaser Quest: Lasers are created when excited atoms release photons\, forming a concentrated light beam. Those up for a challenge can choose an adventure as they explore the properties of lasers. \nSilhouette Shuffle: Not all shadows are dark. Visitors can step into the light and have fun with their shadows as they shift\, overlap\, move and dance under various conditions. \nVivid Van Glow: Unleash the artist within. Art comes alive with the interplay of light and special reactive paint\, allowing guests to create captivating visuals that are picture-perfect masterpieces. \nColor Fusion: Visible light consists of red\, green and blue. Our eyes detect these wavelengths\, and when they mix\, our brains perceive different colors. Mix colors and see what new ones are created. \nVein Vision: When exposed to some forms of light\, veins absorb the light making them visible to the human eye.
