Stories of Science: Water
Join us in our museum EVERY SATURDAY for a family-friendly program that highlights the many strange and surprising stories from the history of science!
Our fun, interactive activities are designed for science lovers of all ages. 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.
Each month we explore a different theme; in August we’ll be diving into water. Take an up-close look at interesting items in our handling collection—this week, we will explore our “Water” theme by examining pH meters and water filtration systems!
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.
