Classes and Park Admission to
Disneyland Park and/or Disney California Adventure Park

Energy and Physics Lab 101 for grades 3-5 at Disneyland Park

Program Overview  Students in grades 3-5 discover light and sound as forms of energy and how to use them in practical application. In this 2.5-hour academic adventure, students see first-hand how these elements are a vital part of creating world-class attractions and how Disney uses these physical properties to entertain and amaze guests from all over the world.
Key Learning Points  During this interactive field study, students will:

• Define energy, work, and waves
• Describe different forms of energy and the Law of Conservation of Energy
• Demonstrate the properties of a compression wave in a medium
• Describe binaural hearing
• Articulate the relationship between light's wavelength and color
• Demonstrate how light is refracted in glass
• Discuss different historical figures and order events chronologically
• Realize that science is a powerful tool for creating enjoyable experiences

Energy and Physics Lab 201 for grades 6-12 at Disney California Adventure

Program Overview  Witness physics principles at work in creating true-to-form Disney attractions. With hands-on experiments and demonstrations, students in grades 6-12 come to understand the fundamentals of acoustics and optics, in addition to the different mediums that affect the transmission of light and sound waves during this 3-hour field study.
Key Learning Points  During this interactive field study, students will:

• Design a Disney attraction concept
• Define and demonstrate wavelengths, frequency, and speed
• Articulate what binaural hearing is
• Describe a compression wave and its medium
• Discuss acoustics
• Describe different applications of magnetism
• Articulate the relationship between color and wavelength
• Demonstrate how light can be affected by objects like mirrors, prisms, and lenses
• Articulate the relationship between electricity and magnetism
• Distinguish the difference between permanent magnets and electromagnets
