Videos of Experiments

We have begun to make videos of all of the lessons and demos that we do.

Check them out!

Interview with a Scientist

Did you ever wonder what a Cloud MicroPhysicist or a Paleontologist studies? We have been in the process of creating 3-5 minute interviews with some of the scientists in our department. We will have our first videos posted soon!

Equipment Loan Program

We offer a variety of kits and small equipment for loan to teachers and informal educators in Central Indiana.

Visit the Department

Take advantage of our self-guided, walk-through tour and learn about a variety of EAPS topics including Tornados, Earthquakes, Minerals, Fossil identification, and much more. The displays are located throughout the second, third, and fourth floors of the Civil Engineering building.
