Young children explore science and music through pitch, tempo, beat and dynamics and learn how these blend to create music. Register today!

Discover the energy in sound waves and make waves that travel through different states of matter. Listen for pitch, frequency and discover the amazing physics of sound. Register today!

Look beyond the four stages of the water cycle and get a first-hand look at the many paths of a water molecule. Where does the rain come from and where does it go after it hits the ground? With activities and movement, students begin to answer these and other questions about water. Register today!

Explore light and optics as we learn how light travels, the difference between reflection and refraction. Discover what color light really is using flashlights, lenses, special glasses and more. Register today!

Investigate how the eye works by dissecting a real cow eye. Students connect the functions observed to the structures within the eye. Register today!

Push and pull your way through an exploration of force and simple machines. We’ll learn the golden rule of simple machines and explore how levers and inclined planes can make your work easier! Register today!

Make math fun and reinforce important skills. Practice place value, using simple coordinate systems and solving open equations while being a number in our math games. Register today!

Learn all about flying in this aerodynamic workshop! Participants will make a variety of airborne toys and explore the physics of flight.  Register today!

Take a look at surface tension in this interactive, bubble adventure. Students will learn how to make and measure different bubbles.  Register today!

You provide the floor space and we’ll provide the excitement and learning. What better way to learn about the physics of energy, force and motion than through hands-on science?  Register today!

Activities include measurement, magnets, animal adaptations, mixing colors and more.  Register today!

Includes activities from biology, ecology, physics, chemistry, math. We can customize this to fit your needs.  Register today!

Shed a new light on science in this interactive workshop. Learn how to use the scientific method to explore what we know about the nature of light.  Register today!

All we see and hear come together as one in this workshop. Discover the similarities between sound and light.  Register today!

Experience the alien world of arthropods through this special, interactive workshop. Fun activities and lively demonstrations give students a first-hand look at insects, arachnids and more with plenty to touch!  Register today!

Learn the golden rule of “force for distance” by testing it yourself. Discover how simple machines reduce effort to make work easier.  Register today!

We’ll take a look at actual fossils and find clues hidden within that will help us learn something about life millions of years ago. Students will get to invent their own prehistoric animals, follow along in the story of fossilization, and learn about our planet’s various biologic and geologic processes.  Register today!

The classic egg drop experiment! Students are given credits to purchase materials to protect their egg from damage in freefall. Concepts in this workshop range from gravity to economics.  Register today!

You provide the floor space and we’ll provide the excitement and learning. What better way to learn about the physics of energy, force and motion than through hands-on science?  Register today!

Awaken the chemist in you. Students explore states of matter and what happens when you go between them. They’ll learn the difference between a physical and a chemical change.  Register today!

60-minutes of Roller Coasters and 30-minutes with the Newtonian Catch. Newtonian Catch is a large physics demonstration where participants experience relative motion first-hand. Please call for details!  Register today!

More information coming soon...

We will explore our smoky cauldron and mysterious concoctions as we make two types of slime with students. Younger students use their slime to investigate three states of matter. Older students investigate the properties of polymers. Gooey concoctions are perfect for Halloween fun! Register today!

Students will learn about animal adaptations to extreme weather with hands-on experiments and even take a virtual trip to Antarctica. Join us as we learn how animals such as penguins live and have babies during extreme weather. Register today!

Why does water behave in certain ways? Go inside a drop of water and examine the structure and behavior of water molecules. Students will explore why things float or sink, how water pressure works and more through a series of hands-on experiments. Register today!

It’s the fraction game show! Students will find out how much they know about fractions as they work together to survive three rounds while constructing, observing and dancing to solve math problems. Fractions can be fun! Register today!

Get your goggles on! Dissect a cow's eye to understand how each structure works together to provide the sense of sight, just like your human eye. After the program, work with your class on a series of optical illusions to see how your eyes and brain work together to bring you visual messages. Register today!

Museum provides cow eyes, gloves and safety glasses (yours to keep); school must provide its own dissection tools.

As part of your Summer Field Trip take a look at surface tension in this interactive bubble adventure. Students will learn how to make and measure different bubbles.  Register today!

As part of a Summer Field Trip, students will experiment with momentum, kinetic and potential energy by building roller coasters in teams. Let the forces of physics take you for a ride! Register today!

Looking for things to do this summer? There’s always something fun at the Museum!  Click here to check out the details on our events calendar.

We are partnering again with Ann Arbor Education and Recreation to bring you 5 awesome summer camps!  Each themed camp is a week long and will be held at local community buildings.  Please check out Ann Arbor Rec and Ed’s site for registration details.
