| The "Brain" station |
 |
| Ginger Ridgely explains the anatomy of the brain using a "brain mold" made from butter scotch Jello. |
 |
| Stephanie Burke helps a student build a puzzle to show that puzzles engage the brain to retain information on shapes, sizes and color in order to choose pieces that will fit together properly. Hunting for pieces requires the brain to memorize what each piece looks like. |
 |
| At "The Elements" station, Drew Shelton demonstrates the chemical formula water (H2O) by using students to show one molecule of water has two hydrogen atoms covalently bonded to a single oxygen atom. |
 |

 |
| Dimitri shows a student that a nerve cell works as an electric excitable cell that processes and transmits information by electrical and chemical signals. |
 |
