On Saturday, September 30th, Kiddie Science was once again a proud participant of the community-wide PLG ArtsFest! This year, we hosted teen artist Kai B. for her art debut. Thank you for attending and for your words of support and encouragement for our budding artist. Thanks to PLG Arts for putting together this annual event. See you next year!

Autumn is an amazing time for science since the specimens are literally falling off the trees! As you go about your day, take a close look at a leaf. What do you see? Our graphic below can hep you identify local trees and go on a leaf hunt!  The votes are in and our new chickens have names! We'd like to introduce you to the Kiddie Science Lab flock! Last week, we quickly and quietly raised funds to purchase resources for the community. Our goal is to temporarily turn the Kiddie Science Lab Little Free Library into a resource hub with back-to-school supplies for anyone that needs it. Thanks to the generosity of many, we were able to secure a variety of materials which includes fully stocked pencil cases, crayons, markers, binders, notebooks, pens, and much more! Starting September 6th until supplies last, we invite you to stop by our Little Free Library and help yourself to the resources you need (and leave for others). THANK YOU for your support!! When we explore a topic, we expose young scientists to the vocabulary, tools, and activities related to our subject. During our exploration of geology and paleontology, we made observations of rock and mineral specimens and created sorting categories based on criteria of color, shape, and size. We used hammers to open up geodes which young scientists were able to take home and add to their collection. Rocks and minerals are not the only things beneath our feet! Young scientists excavated authentic fossils and explored prehistoric amber. We created replicas out of clay and explored the details in our creations. We became geologists and paleontologists as we explored the clues found on the ground on our amazing planet! |
