Don't forget about the physical sciences like chemistry *looks at Xander and Andrew* and also model rocketry, I launched rockets one weekend with my kids and their friends. It was a huge success and I was able to hold their attention long enough to talk a bit about Goddard and the different part of a rocket. It was fairly inexpensive, I think I spent about $80, got two ready to fly rockets, a launch platform and 6 rocket engines.
