SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER TOUR
AND CSI SCENARIO

Science & Technology Center programs begin with a guided tour and a Calif. Education Standards-based SCAVENGER HUNT, which together last about 45 minutes.  The remainder of the time is  for self guided viewing or interacting with hands-on exhibits.  Total duration is typically one to two hours. This is often combined with CHEM MYSTERY, our popular CSI scenario. See the STC page for more information on this and other offerings.

• OUR SOLAR SYSTEM - Take a tour of the planets!

• STELLARIUM - View the night sky! Learn about the constellations, and hear stories from ancient times that truly bring them to life.
• EARTH'S WILD RIDE! - Join a family viewing the Earth from the moon in the year 2081 during a solar eclipse. In this 3-D animated film, as a grandfather tells his grandchildren about how Earth was and is like, we see roaring dinosaurs, crashing asteroids, and ice age mammoths. We travel through canyons of raging rivers, over an erupting volcano, and through a thunder and lightning storm. Children learn about eclipses, Earth's water cycle, and the differences between Earth and Moon.
