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.
Guests who visit our museum must have 11 protons, because they are all sodium cute! 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. This week visit our activity table to learn about the history of the Periodic Table of the Elements – an icon in the field of chemistry. Stop by our Object Explorer touch table to learn about the science behind everyday 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.
Stories of Science takes place weekly on Saturdays. Admission is free and reservations are not required.
