Explore Physical Science

By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. (Hebrews 11:3)

Learn about the properties of waves, magnetism, sound, light, and many more as we explore God’s creation in the natural world. Each session will support the topic through hands-on application while students collaborate together to solve problems and design experiments.

Open to students ages 11 to 18.

Explore Physical Science is a 3-hour program scheduled from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

The Explore Days program is on a four-year rotating schedule. Each Explore Day includes a minimum of three hands-on, interactive sessions. The yearly topics are provided in the schedule below.

Please keep in mind that some of our activities are contingent upon weather.
