We had about 75 students at the museum today from two different schools. They got to see some of our reptiles up close and personal in their reptile program. They then moved on to their workshop on weather. Its always neat to see children learn for the first time that the energy from the Sun drives the weather patterns of Earth.
One of the school groups also experienced Pop, Fizz, Boom!, a program that teaches some basic concepts about Chemistry. Of course, basic or not, it's fun to see all the kids jump when we create hydrogen gas in a Zip-loc bag and open it under a flame . . .
