Gallery admission and family programming such as Second Saturday Family FunDay are free—thanks to sponsors, successful grant writing, and the generosity of the local community.

🐦🔬 CAN YOU MAKE A BIRD MOVE WITHOUT TOUCHING IT? 🔬🐦

Our young scientists put their observation skills to the test during the Next Gen STEAM Exhibition Series! Students explored the "Bird in a Cage or on a Branch" activity and investigated how they could make a bird appear to move without ever touching it! 🐦✨

Using a simple paper “cage” and bird model, students explored air, motion, and visual effects while observing what happened when the model moved. Along the way, they made predictions, looked closely at what they saw, and used evidence to explain the changes they observed. 🔬👀💨

Hands-on activities like this encourage students to ask questions, test their ideas, and discover that science is all around us! Sometimes, what looks like magic is actually science in action. ✨🐦

Want to bring your group to experience Next Gen STEAM? Schedule a visit with our STEAM Education Director, Stephanie Johnson-Carlton!
