BIG & LITTLE SCIENTISTS:
|
Young scientists and their adult caregiver take part in fun, engaging hands-on science exploration. During each session, participants enjoy free exploration of Lab materials, assist in the care of the Lab garden, and participate in hands-on experiments.
This program requires adult participation. Registration for individual workshops is available as space allows. Each week, participants will receive a newsletter outlining our science topic, including pictures. MONDAYS @ 10am Age 5 & under w/ an adult Exploring Our Changing World
September 16th, 23rd, 30th & October 7th **THIS SESSION IS FULL** Contact us at KiddieScience@gmail.com to be placed on the wait list. Please provide your child's first name and age. You will be contacted the Sunday morning before the program if any spots become available. The changing season is a perfect time for science! We focus on learning to make observations in order to better understand some of what happens during the seasonal change. We explore pine cones, acorns, and leaves, and learn how the local ecology responds to the change in season. Weather permitting, we spend time caring for the outdoor garden and preparing it for the next growing season. |

Exploring Acorns
Monday, September 23rd THIS WORKSHOPS IS FULL We've all seen acorns, but how much do you know about their parts? Is it a fruit? Or a nut? Or both? We take a closer look at acorns and make a creative project to remind us of its parts. |
Exploring Autumn Leaves
Monday, September 30th THIS WORKSHOPS IS FULL When you look at a leaf, what do you see? We make observations about leaves and learn more about them. We will use our observations to identify leaf characteristics and make a leaf rubbing book. |
Local Ecology
Monday, October 7th
THIS WORKSHOPS IS FULL
Our word of the day is ecology. Ecology describes the living things in a given area. When we’re talking about living things right here in Brooklyn, we are referring to the local ecology. What living things can be found in Brooklyn? What do these living things do in fall/winter?

Supermarket Chemistry
October 21st, 28th & November 4th **3 spots left** Learn how simple grocery store ingredients can be used for fizzy, bubbly, and gooey chemistry experiments. We learn about the Scientific Method by asking questions, making observations, sharing hypotheses about what we think will happen, and learning what our results mean. It's fun and messy science from the supermarket! |
STEAM: Science & Art
November 18th, 25th, December 2nd, 9th, & 16th **4 spots left** During each session, young scientists and their adult caregiver will incorporate different ingredients and methods to create unique works of science-based art. Projects include marbling, creating fossils, chromatography art, watercolor & oil paintings and more. Come prepared to get messy and creative. |
