Our fun, interactive activities are designed for science lovers of all ages. This week, we are heading to the beach! Join us at our handling collection table to explore the ways environmental scientists strive to keep our oceans healthy. Stop by our Object Explorer touch table to learn about the science behind everyday items like plastic bottles 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.
