STARBASE Hill opened its doors to students from Davis School District in September 2011. Since then, more than 9,000 students have had the opportunity to come to STARBASE Hill and experience science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) in a fun, new way! Check out our "Resources, Videos and More" page to see what cool things you can do while at home social distancing. We have found cool science web sites, virtual field trips and more!
STARBASE Hill would like to welcome Grace Newman "Rey" to its team awesome STEM instructors. Grace brings her youthful exuberance to all the participating students of our program. She just graduated from BYU in December of 2021 with degree in Communication Disorders. With her degree done she looks to challenge herself with graduate level studies as she believes in "never stop learning". However, Grace self-admits to be a nerd at heart with love for such areas as Star Wars (of course), superheroes, sci-fi, reading, and board games. Don't think she is a pushover of any kind as there has been blood-shed over pickleball matches and/or board games. To avoid the competitive beast from revealing itself, Grace loves to go hiking, biking, or anything outdoors with her husband. The force is strong with this one and we know she will achieve great things with the rest of the crew here at STARBASE Hill. Welcome Grace!!!
CHECK US OUT EVERYWHERE!

Dragon and F35 from Holt Elementary asks, “If you blow a candle out, then try to light the smoke will it light?”
Very curious…I love your question Dragon and F35. Hopefully, I can “enlighten” you with my response…I’m so punny! Anyhow, the answer to your question is yes. As the candle burns it vaporizes the candle wax. These vapors travel up with the smoke from the wick which is incinerating. So, you could look at the smoke as being a really long wick for the candle…although, it burns a whole lot faster. If you have a candle at home, try this experiment with your parents or guardians. Tell them you have a magic trick to “Wow” them. You will be the star magician of the house. Just remember, magic is simply science…and you know the answers. As you can see, I love candles, especially when I’m singing my power ballads at night…MEE, MEEP!!! |
