SUMMARY:Homeschool STEAM Club: Grades K-2
DESCRIPTION:Our Homeschool STEAM Club for children entering grades K-2 is all about physics in motion! \nChildren will use project- and problem-based learning to explore energy\, gravity\, friction\, and speed through a variety of hands-on activities including building marble track roller coasters for the final lesson. Students will draw on physical science\, mathematics\, engineering\, and English language arts to do the following: \n\nDemonstrate awareness of motion- and energy-related concepts through play.\nMeasure\, compare\, and test numbers related to their project.\nDiscuss\, investigate\, and create a marble track roller coaster.\nDescribe and apply the engineering design process.\n\nEach week children will learn something new about physics and engage in hands-on activities. We encourage children to attend all five sessions in November and December\, if possible\, as each lesson builds on the last.  \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:Wellness Wednesday: Toddler & Me Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Take a deep breath and get ready to relax! This engaging class with Mindful Yoga with Liz is designed for toddlers and their caregivers. Using a variety of manipulatives\, children will learn body awareness\, balance\, build core strength\, work on fine and gross motor skills\, and more\, all in a fun and nurturing environment. This is a great opportunity to bond with your littles while engaging your mind\, body\, spirit\, and inner child. \nThis program is appropriate for seasoned walkers up to three years old. \nIncluded with museum admission. \nDue to limited space\, we encourage you to preregister. Yoga mats are also in short supply so please bring your own. \nCLICK HERE to register. \n \n\nGenerously sponsored by:

SUMMARY:Homeschool STEAM Club: Grades 3-5
DESCRIPTION:Our Homeschool STEAM Club for children entering grades 3-5 is all about engineering the best swing set possible! \nThroughout the five lessons\, children will use project- and problem-based learning to investigate\, design\, build\, and test different swing set models. They will draw on physics\, mathematics\, engineering\, English language arts\, and social studies to do the following: \n\nCompare swing set designs for both safety and fun factors.\nRecognize gravity and friction as forces; evaluate the forces that affect both children’s bodies and swing sets on the playground; and spot ways these forces play into design challenges.\nUse the engineering design process to create alternative shapes and designs for a swing set.\nCollect data using mathematical tools and record data with line plots and bar graphs.\nBuild models of their proposed designs and write blogs to summarize the improvements that maximize playground fun while minimizing risks.\n\nEach week children will learn something new about about physics and engineering\, and engage in hands-on activities. We encourage children to attend all five sessions in November and December\, if possible\, as each lesson builds on the last.  \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.
