Science Saturdays
Rocks and Minerals January 11, 11 a.m.
Rocks and minerals may seem like simple everyday items to some people since they appear in such abundance. However, they can be extremely complex due to their specific qualities. Did you know some rocks and minerals can cut glass or glow under UV light? This is a great Science Saturday for aspiring rock hounds.
The Brain January 25, 11 a.m. With technology continually on the rise, computers have become especially  popular in our world. Interestingly, the most powerful "computer" in the world lies right inside our bodies! During this Science Saturday children will learn about the structure of the brain, its storage capacity that we like to call the memory, and a few fun brainy facts.
Join us for days of discovery during Science Saturdays! These programs will ignite your children's curiosity by presenting information and performing experiments relating to biology, earth science and chemistry. All programs will be facilitated by our Museum Educator. It is recommended that children be of school age for this program.
