Polliwogs (ages 3-4)

Second and fourth Tuesdays of each month; 1:00–2:00 pm.
Little people love science too! Through specially designed stories, songs, activities, games and crafts, the youngest science explorers learn as they play. Investigate the seasons, your senses, insects, dinosaurs and much more while you interact productively with your peers.

Don't forget! After class, visit Sproutsville or the Oh! Zone. Build with giant blocks, relax in the loft with a good book, be mesmerized by magnifiers and magnets or produce a puppet show.

FETCH! Lab (ages 8-12)

First and third Wednesdays of each month; 3:45–4:45 pm.
Designed after the PBS kids television show "Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman," the lab offers new and exciting challenges for us to explore. Science + Fellowship + Curious Minds = FETCH! Lab! A Science Center educator leads an hour of investigation, experimentation, cooperative learning and interaction with peers. Join the fun each month and help the club earn points toward a FETCH! Lab Party. Bring a friend and earn an extra point for your club.
