EDUCATIONAL EXTRAVAGANZA
May 29 & 30, 2008
NEW for 2008 – Mad Science is coming to Education Extravaganza!
Science comes alive at Morey’s Piers – students will enjoy a live, interactive Mad Science show following their workshops. Shows are 15 minutes and run between 11 am and 2:30 pm. This educational program is brought to you in part by Cape Bank, our Partner in Education.
LEARNING THROUGH VALUABLE HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE
Education Extravaganza offers a full day of innovative workshops and fun for students in Grades 3 through 12. This unique program is designed to encourage hands-on learning and interactive participation in safe, clean surroundings.
In the morning, students participate in thought-provoking activities in one of five unique educational workshops offered 9:30am to 10:15am or 10:30am to 11:15am. Afterward, students are rewarded with an afternoon of fun on Morey’s Mariner’s Landing amusement rides and Raging Waters waterpark.
WORKSHOPS
Basic
Physics
A comprehensive workbook leads students through a series of physics problems illustrated through the use of amusement ride examples. This is the perfect opportunity for students to understand how classroom theory is applied to real life situations. Grades 6-12
Ride
Mechanics
In this exciting workshop, students learn about the "nuts and bolts" that keep rides operating safely. An ideal workshop for vocational/ technical students, our professional Attractions staff will guide participants through several rides and teach them about the practical mechanics behind the amusements. Grades 9-12
 First
Aid and Water Safety
Through hands-on demonstration students learn water safety skills, basic first aid, sun protection, and most importantly, how to keep themselves safe in and around the water.
Presented by the U.S. Coast Guard for Grades 3-12
Ecology
Build a Dune – Students “sand sculpt” dunes and a model shore town to learn the affects of natural phenomena on those living along the coast. This timely lesson on coastal dynamics touches on real-life ecology and conservation issues. Grades 5-12
Peer Leadership
The key to avoiding drug and alcohol abuse is making good life choices. Through a series of cooperative games students learn the foundation of good decision making. Games are designed to be fun while encouraging communication and self-confidence. Grades 9 - 12
