Schedule for Brave Experimenter
Flight (January 11)
Prepare for takeoff! In this Virtual Field Trip, students will explore the properties of air and the four forces of flight that help aircraft get in the air, and stay there. On a virtual tour of the museum, they will observe and discuss the relationship between the shape, size, and choice of materials used to build aircraft from 1909 to today.
Life in the Soil (March 22)
During the program, students observe the characteristics of earthworms, study their life cycle and discover how worms contribute to healthy soils.

Examine micro worlds of everyday objects under a live video feed of the museum’s digital microscope.
