Stories of Science: We ❤︎ Chemistry!
Join us in our museum EVERY SATURDAY for a family-friendly program that highlights the many surprising and spellbinding stories from the history of science.
Did you hear about the Valentine’s date Oxygen went on with Potassium? It went OK. For the month of February, we are looking at science history stories that remind us why we love chemistry!
Saturday’s fun, interactive activities are designed for science lovers of all ages. Visit our activity table this week to view a collection of our most beloved science toys: the chemistry set! Stop by our Object Explorer touch table to learn about the science behind household items like refrigerators 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. Join the gallery guides for this week’s tour, “Stuff From Your House,” where you will learn about the scientific principles and history behind the everyday objects we cannot live without.
Stories of Science takes place weekly on Saturdays. Admission is free and reservations are not required.
