Science Investigations Summer Program
The Museum’s Science Investigations summer program is a week-long immersive experience for learners entering grades Kindergarten through 5 that fosters a sense of wonder for the natural world.
Each one-week session is led by expert Museum educators who specialize in guiding children through engaging, hands-on science experiences. Students will participate in the process of science as they ask questions, make observations, collect evidence, and draw conclusions to gain a new perspective about the natural world, our planet, and beyond.
Science Investigations summer program participants:
- Learn in state-of-the art classrooms at the Museum
- Explore Museum halls and exhibits
- Meet Museum scientists and experts
- Get close-up looks at Museum collections and even live animals
Each session is one week: Monday through Friday.
Hours: 9 am–3 pm daily. We do not offer before- or after-care.
