Summer Science Days - Astronomy Week

Join us for a summer filled with science, learning and wonder. We’ll be exploring a different science each week in July and August with demonstrations and hands-on activities. All activities are FREE with Museum admission thanks to the generosity of Pfizer.

Astronomy Week:
Learn more about the brilliant night sky and all of the space in our universe during this action packed week. Activities and demonstrations will include making constellation viewers, make your own planet, galaxy playdough, rocket reactions, moon sand and more! Our Astronomy week will coincide with a real meteor shower going on during the week (best dates: Sunday August 11 and Monday August 12). Look up the Perseids meteor shower for more information on how best to view this outside at night.
