LEGO FUNGINEERING

Young budding engineers love this "hands-on, minds-on" program.  Concepts of simple machines such as gears, pulleys, levers and wheels are introduced through a series of activity-card LEGO building projects.

THE HAPPY PIANO

BEGINNER

Studies show that piano lessons in the preschool years help in later academics, especially math, science, and engineering. But for our Happy Piano students, the attraction is the fun and excitement they get from playing the piano. From the very first day, students play the piano on keyboards sized just right for small fingers. Music theory is introduced through games and activities.

 MAD SCIENCE

**NEW** (SAL II) SLEUTHS ON THE SCENE

Suspects, schematics, and sleuths… oh my! Connect the dots using science to help solve a crime in this hands-on investigation at the science of sleuthing. The children will use the Scene Solver to reconstruct the scene of a crime. Using their Whodunit Kit, they can practice the skills of recall and observation—they are provided with character descriptions to reconstruct the face of the suspect! Provided answer keys give them feedback on their skills.
