Discovery
Rooms
Within
the two main exhibit halls of the Science Center
you can find uniquely innovative rooms designed to
foster
and support young childrens first science explorations.
These learning environments provide opportunities
for
interactive, inquiry-based investigations that prepare
young visitors for later science experiences.
Children, families and school groups can utilize the
Discovery Rooms, which include interactive exhibits,
storytelling, hands-on Discovery Boxes, animal displays
and space for self-directed explorations of artifacts,
models and other materials. Materials are designed
to
promote adult child interaction and cooperative learning
among children.
Discovery
Rooms are designed for children 7 years of age and
younger. All children are required to wear socks
while enjoying the Discovery Room activities.
During
peak hours and times we have a 20 minute rotation
in our rooms. This allows for many of our younger
guests to enjoy the rooms during operating hours. |
