Friday, September 8 - Buon Fresco
Workshop Sessions at 10:30am and 1:30pm

Friday, September 15 - States of Matter
Workshop Sessions at 10:30am and 1:30pm
Explore the three states of matter- solids, liquids, and gases- using your whole body to demonstrate how molecules behave in these three states. Through a variety of hands-on experiments, students are wowed by the molecular changes that occur before their own eyes.
Friday, September 22 - Beautiful Batiks
Workshop Sessions at 10:30am and 1:30pm

Friday, September 29 - Owl Pellet Discoveries
Workshop Sessions at 10:30am and 1:30pm
Learn about various food chains and the importance of predators and prey in an ecosystem through an interactive story. Then, children will discover the diet of a barn owl by dissecting an owl pellet and studying and identifying the bones and contents.
