We are several students at Windsor high school that are participating in a classroom project that is based in and around Keiser park. In our class, we are contributing our time to make Keiser more of a safe and fun location. Our goal is to provide science activities for kids so they could get a head start in their learning. Down below will be our exhibits that shall be placed in Keiser park for children of all ages to play with.

MagnetismFerrofluid will be placed in a jar and the user will be able to manipulate the fluid however they want to using magnetism. This will teach the children more about magnets and magnetism Also, to boost children's knowledge of magnets, there will be an exhibit with magnetic sand where the user will be able to control the sand using magnets. Finally, an exhibit with a magnetic trampoline. This uses the poles of the magnets to make the magnets "hover" over the other magnets.

LightFor the light exhibit we will be using some VEX parts. A LED light bulb will be powered by a VEX motor when a sprocket is spun. This will teach students how generators and lights work.

MotionFor motion we were planning on planting a ball that repels magnets. For this we thought of having poles with magnets attached to them and let the ball fly off with its momentum acquired from the magnets
