Doing Science Together

With spectrum glasses for the whole family,
atomic spectra come alive.

This free program offers kids and adults of all ages a chance to learn about their world with hands-on activities. Mag Lab educators help you discover the fun of doing science by looking at everyday things in a new way. Programs are tailored to each group's needs. Activities may feature listening walks, 10-minute field trips or picture books to expand science vocabulary and sense of wonder about the world. Our Web-based resources can be used to expand the programming.

Our hands-on activities help participants:

• make connections between science and their world
• ask and answer questions
• think scientifically
• gain a sense of adventure and curiosity
• address "Big Science Ideas" with simple activities you can do at home

This program is available to small and large groups, such as:

• parents and students seeking science fair strategies
• science clubs
• story time for preschoolers
• special events
• adults who want to learn more about science
• senior citizens groups

Workshops may be scheduled after school, evenings or Saturdays and can take place here at the Mag Lab or at your school, library, bookstore or other facility.
