Stories of Science: Back to School
Join us in our museum EVERY SATURDAY for a family-friendly program that highlights the many surprising and spell-binding stories from the history of science! For the month of September, we are heading “back to school.” Each Saturday our programming will explore the history of science education.
Our fun, interactive activities are designed for science lovers of all ages. Take an up-close look at interesting items in our handling collection. 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. This week join us on the 2pm Women in Chemistry tour to learn about the women scientists and educators who inspired many young women to enter the field of chemistry.
Stories of Science takes place weekly on Saturdays. Admission is free and reservations are not required.
