Pre-K & Kindergarten Programs

“Sink or Float” - STEAM

Will it sink or will it float? Children will explore the concepts of buoyancy and density exploration of the Waterways exhibit. They’ll apply the knowledge learned by crafting and constructing different mechanisms and testing their hypothesis of sink or float.

​

 

“My Block” - ARTS

Music is integral to culture, and culture lives within our walls and beyond. Whether it’s drumming or shaking, children will reflect on the music they experience in their daily lives in their communities and make connections. Creating musical instruments is the perfect way to compliment their visit to “The Block” exhibit.

 

​

“Fantastical Bugs” - ARTS

While exploring our “Woods’’ exhibit, bugs and all types of animals and critters can be found hiding along the walls or even inside the Beaver lodge. Children combine science and imagination to create their own fantastical bugs! A butterfly with three heads? A worm with actual legs? All is possible with this project.
