Story Lab is a new museum program that started in November. Each month a new book is highlighted for a read-a loud story time. Afterwards, children participate in a science lab or science activity that relates to the story.
Schools and groups may choose a Story Lab as a Field trip. Once a Story Lab has been presented for the month it is available for school field trips.
Story Labs run about 45 minutes each and will be held in the Museum of Science and History's third floor Budding Biotech Lab.
Story Labs now available to classes and groups:
Diary of a Worm

November: Diary of a Worm by Doreen Cronin

OMSH Cave
I am so excited about our cave in the Origins Gallery. I took a friend, her daughter and son through on a sneak preview. They were each amazed they were not in a real cave. I loved hearing their exclamations of delight and cannot wait to share with the public. We are running behind schedule but plan to have a special teacher event when it is ready.

Creating a Precipitate Lab
A precipitate is the resulting solid of a chemical reaction producing the carbonate which forms the building blocks of many cave formations. This lab is a great connection for Physical and Earth Science.
