Grades 4-5: Sound: Here, There, and Everywhere!

How does sound travel from the explosion of a cannon to our ears? Why is it that different strings on a guitar produce sounds higher and lower in pitch? In this session students will observe several experiments demonstrating the properties of sound and make their own observations concerning the transmission, reflection, and absorption of sound as well as how changing the rate of vibration can vary the pitch of a sound.

Grades 3-6: Math Midway

The Math Midway features fun and challenging mathematical content at all levels from children to mathematicians. There is a range of unique exhibits, from square-wheeled tricycles that ride smoothly on a circular track of catenary arcs, to a plane of laser light that you can pass plastic polyhedra through to find their surprising cross sections. You can create unique pen and ink drawings to take home using the mechanical harmonograph. Or play with the "organ function grinder" in which you input a number, set a function, and turn the hand crank to generate both a numerical output and a unique calliope tune, which is transformed according to your function.

Grades K-12: How Artists See Nature

As the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame hosts the temporary exhibit, Georgia O’Keeffe and the Faraway, the different aspects of artist interpretation of nature becomes evident. Photographers such as Ansel Adams and Elliot Porter also shared O’Keeffe’s appreciation of nature as they captured unique scenery through the camera lens instead of paint and palette. Join us as we explore how O’Keeffe and others found ways to share their work and inspiration through various forms of art medians.
