SUMMARY:Homeschool STEAM Club: Grades 3-5
DESCRIPTION:Our Homeschool STEAM Club for children entering grades 3-5 asks kids to design and prototype a train of the future with magnets and household materials.  \nThroughout the five lessons\, children will use project- and problem-based learning to explore the world of trains\, mathematics\, and magnetism. Children will draw on engineering\, physics\, mathematics\, history\, and English language arts to do the following: \n\nLearn about U.S. geography\, explore the role of trains in the nation’s development\, and consider train travel in the 21st century.\nDevelop conceptual understanding of innovations in train technology\, with a focus on maglev (magnetic levitation) trains.\nUse inquiry activities in science to learn about magnetic interactions and use mathematics to calculate distances and time intervals.\nApply this knowledge in the Maglevacation Train Challenge\, working collaboratively while using the engineering design process. Children will create a prototype train to safely carry passengers a given distance and then prepare a presentation about their destination and their train’s design features.\n\nEach week children will learn something new about trains and technology through hands-on activities. We encourage children to attend all five sessions\, if possible\, as each lesson builds on the last.  \n*Please bring a water bottle for your child. We will have a place they can fill it up at the museum. \nFree for MHDM members\, $5 for non-members with museum admission. \nProgram begins promptly at 2 pm. Registration is required.  \nREGISTER HERE \nAll sales are final and non-refundable.

SUMMARY:Homeschool STEAM Club: Grades K-2
DESCRIPTION:Our Homeschool STEAM Club for children entering grades K-2 is all about sound\, light\, and waves as kids create their own musical show and musical instruments. \n Throughout the five lessons\, children will use project- and problem-based learning to explore cause and effect\, and the concept of waves as disturbances that travel through space and substances to transfer energy. Children will draw on physical and biological science\, mathematics\, engineering\, and English language arts to do the following: \n\nExplore different types of waves\, including water and sound waves\, that come from different sources and travel in various ways.\nInvestigate how our eyes\, ears\, and skin respond to sound and light.\nUse technology to gather research and communicate.\nDesign\, test\, and evaluate models to demonstrate how people experience and interact with sound and light.\nPut on a show that combines voices and flashlights with guitars and drums they’ve made themselves to demonstrate how sound waves and light can be used to communicate and entertain.\n\nEach week children will learn something new about waves\, sound or light\, and come away with some sort of creation. We encourage children to attend all five sessions\, if possible\, as each lesson builds on the last.  \n*Please bring a water bottle for your child. We will have a place they can fill it up at the museum. \nFree for MHDM members\, $5 for non-members with museum admission. \nProgram begins promptly at 2 pm. Registration is required.  \nREGISTER HERE \nAll sales are final and non-refundable.

SUMMARY:Bee Amazed! — An Up-Close Adventure with Honey Bees
DESCRIPTION:Richard and Melissa Kurtz frequently visit the Mid-Hudson Discovery Museum with their grandchildren and are excited to share their lifelong passion for honey bees as both beekeepers and educators. \nThis interactive program gives children and families an up-close encounter with live honey bees in a safe observation hive. Discover how thousands of bees work together as a colony and learn about the important role honey bees and other pollinators play in our environment. Participants also have an opportunity to handle beekeeping equipment\, learn how beekeepers care for their colonies\, and explore the many useful products that come from a healthy hive including honey\, beeswax\, propolis\, and pollen. \nMost importantly\, this program encourages children to appreciate the amazing lives of honey bees and understand why bees and other pollinators are so important to the world around us. \nIncluded with museum admission. \n\nRichard and Melissa Kurtz have been beekeepers for more than 40 years and have shared their love of honeybees through educational programs for people of all ages. Both are retired public-school science teachers and lifelong educators. Their passion is helping others discover the amazing life of honey bees from the remarkable way bees live and work together to the important role they play as pollinators in our environment. Richard and Melissa especially enjoy introducing children and families to the fascinating world inside a honey bee colony and showing how these tiny insects help support plants\, animals\, and people.

SUMMARY:Homeschool STEAM Club: Grades K-2
DESCRIPTION:Our Homeschool STEAM Club for children entering grades K-2 is all about sound\, light\, and waves as kids create their own musical show and musical instruments. \n Throughout the five lessons\, children will use project- and problem-based learning to explore cause and effect\, and the concept of waves as disturbances that travel through space and substances to transfer energy. Children will draw on physical and biological science\, mathematics\, engineering\, and English language arts to do the following: \n\nExplore different types of waves\, including water and sound waves\, that come from different sources and travel in various ways.\nInvestigate how our eyes\, ears\, and skin respond to sound and light.\nUse technology to gather research and communicate.\nDesign\, test\, and evaluate models to demonstrate how people experience and interact with sound and light.\nPut on a show that combines voices and flashlights with guitars and drums they’ve made themselves to demonstrate how sound waves and light can be used to communicate and entertain.\n\nEach week children will learn something new about waves\, sound or light\, and come away with some sort of creation. We encourage children to attend all five sessions\, if possible\, as each lesson builds on the last.  \n*Please bring a water bottle for your child. We will have a place they can fill it up at the museum. \nFree for MHDM members\, $5 for non-members with museum admission. \nProgram begins promptly at 2 pm. Registration is required.  \nREGISTER HERE \nAll sales are final and non-refundable.

SUMMARY:Homeschool STEAM Club: Grades 3-5
DESCRIPTION:Our Homeschool STEAM Club for children entering grades 3-5 asks kids to design and prototype a train of the future with magnets and household materials.  \nThroughout the five lessons\, children will use project- and problem-based learning to explore the world of trains\, mathematics\, and magnetism. Children will draw on engineering\, physics\, mathematics\, history\, and English language arts to do the following: \n\nLearn about U.S. geography\, explore the role of trains in the nation’s development\, and consider train travel in the 21st century.\nDevelop conceptual understanding of innovations in train technology\, with a focus on maglev (magnetic levitation) trains.\nUse inquiry activities in science to learn about magnetic interactions and use mathematics to calculate distances and time intervals.\nApply this knowledge in the Maglevacation Train Challenge\, working collaboratively while using the engineering design process. Children will create a prototype train to safely carry passengers a given distance and then prepare a presentation about their destination and their train’s design features.\n\nEach week children will learn something new about trains and technology through hands-on activities. We encourage children to attend all five sessions\, if possible\, as each lesson builds on the last.  \n*Please bring a water bottle for your child. We will have a place they can fill it up at the museum. \nFree for MHDM members\, $5 for non-members with museum admission. \nProgram begins promptly at 2 pm.
