Join us to read Moonbear’s Shadow by Frank Asch and watch as Moonbear tries to escape it, but he can’t! Then we’ll break out the flashlights and look at our own shadows. What makes shadows shorter? What makes them longer? Learn that during winter, the sun is farther away and shadows will be longer. Then […]

Let’s get ready for miSci’s train exhibit! Students read Terrific Trains by Tony Mitton, then make an engineer’s hat while talking about what kind of cars power the train, carry the people, and carry cargo. Little engineers will build a funicular train that we can power ourselves. miSci’s Little Edisons program, for kids ages 3 […]
Museum Members are invited to preview the new miSci exhibition Seeing Ourselves: From Selfie to Silhouette. The exhibit asks visitors to imagine not knowing the look of their own face.

Little Edisons will don their lab coats and investigate the ins and outs of the apple. Best scientific methods will be used to observe and measure, test for buoyancy, and get down to the core and dissect their subjects. Participants will also learn some new words and make a book to take home. miSci’s Little […]
