POP-UP SCIENCE in October

Fall into STEAM with our October POP-UP SCIENCE activities! Are you looking for fun, hands-on weekday activities for your children? Drop by our Pop-Up Science station every Thursday from 10am – 12pm for exciting, interactive learning: October 1st-Candy Corn Boats In this fun Halloween STEM challenge, children will become engineers and design a mini “boat” using aluminum foil and candy corn. This hands-on activity encourages children to explore buoyancy, weight, balance, and engineering while practicing problem-solving and making predictions. October 8th-Pumpkin Sprouts Stop by our Pop-Up Science station to explore the life cycle of a pumpkin. Children will be guided to pick out their seeds and “plant” them in a clear bag so they can easily observe growth at home. October 15th-Pumpkins, do they float? Explore buoyancy with this easy, hands-on experiment using pumpkins of different sizes. Students will practice their prediction and scientific observation skills while learning about density. October 22nd-Marshmallow S’mores Structures Stop by our Pop-Up Science station for a Fall activity that encourages children to build, balance, and engineer with s’mores! Using toothpicks, graham crackers, and marshmallows, guests can design and build their own campfire creations. October 29th-Growing Ghosts Explore chemical reactions through this fun Halloween-themed experiment. Using household materials, children will observe how a chemical reaction produces gas that makes their balloon “ghost” grow. Which weekly theme is your little scientist most excited for? This Floor Program is included in the price of admission, which is $10 for adults and children 1 year and older. #STEAMKids #SensoryPlay #MuseumEarlyLearning
