Stories of Science: Earth Month
Join us in our museum EVERY SATURDAY for a family-friendly program that highlights the many strange and surprising stories from the history of science!
Our fun, interactive activities are designed for science lovers of all ages. Visit our handling table to check out some of our environmental board games in honor of Earth Month! Stop by our Object Explorer touch table to learn about the science behind everyday items like ice cube trays and LED light bulbs. Chat with our experienced Gallery Guides to find out more about the people responsible for the science embedded in our daily lives.
During your visit, you can also check out our themed “drop-in” tours at 11:30am and 2pm. At 2pm, we’ll celebrate Earth Month with our Science and Activism Tour, which explores scientific instruments that activists have used to protect our planet and our health.
Stories of Science takes place weekly on Saturdays. Admission is free and reservations are not required.
