By Kate Pixler-Imagination Station March 11, 2018


TOLEDO, Ohio – Imagination Station is inviting their youngest visitors to investigate and explore flight and learn to be aviators-in-training during Little Scientist Week. This week will run from March 13-18 and is dedicated to the littlest learners aged kindergarten and younger. Constructing hoop gliders, blasting air cannons, creating wind racers, and exploring the Bernoulli Principle will aid these learners in the exploration of flight.

Activities include the following:

Hoop Gliders:

 

The children will have a blast with this activity as they can aim an air cannon at their friends and family shooting vortex rings of air and learn about the science of air pressure.

Wind Racers:

 

Children can wrap their friends and family in toilet paper making them paper mummies, and blow up a 30-liter bag with just one breath in these cool science experiments.

Also, on March 17th, Imagination Station will unveil its newest permanent exhibition, Flight: The Sky’s the Limit. This exhibition will allow visitors to explore aviation careers, which are growing to new heights as well as test their aviation skills while flying a Saab 340.
