Come learn about the exciting properties of water! Participants will learn around important water properties such as pH, conductivity, density and more!
Zone 4 | ISTB 4 Lobby
Dr. Mina Johnson (Psychology and Learning Sciences Institute) and her lab show off their newest KINECT motion-sensing games for science. Your body becomes the controller as you FEED AN ALIEN and learn about nutrition, WIN A BIKE RACE CHANGING GEARS, and practice sustainability building a virtual SOLAR OVEN!
Have you ever seen a printed picture that changes its emotions? A bicycle that turns into a motorcycle? Stop by and learn about the science of visual spatial frequency and how one picture can contain two images. Leonardo DaVinci used this technique in many of his paintings and so can you. Come take pictures of yourself and create your own Mona Lisa smile.
Professor Judd Bowman and the Low-frequency Cosmology Group (LoCo Lab) invite you to search and discover Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Radio Astronomy!
Learn about the Electromagnetic Spectrum, RFI and the need for "Radio Quiet" zones to study the Radio Sky in remote areas like Green Bank WV, Western Australia and South Africa.
Get an immediate experience of ASU's insect collection with more and 700,000 specimens and learn about research related to their diversity and natural history in Arizona and beyond. Staff and students will be available to interact and learn with visitors of all ages
Zone 2 | Life Sciences Center A (LSA), SOLS Collections Area
Stop by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) Visitors Center in the Interdisciplinary A (INTDSA) building and watch the staff target images of the Moon in the Science Operation Center. You will also be able to view the Moon through telescopes (weather permitting), talk to LROC staff and students who can answer your questions about the Moon and provide informal tours. You can also see the latest high-resolution LROC images on display in the hallway and lobby.
Come tour the Mars Space Flight Facility and see: Images "Live from Mars"; a full-scale model of the Mars Exploration Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity; hallways lined with spectacular Mars images. You will also have a chance to talk with scientists currently studying Mars for the latest information.
