Every Saturday is Super!
Experience Satur-Play! at the Illinois State Museum. Be drawn in by fun science experiments and art projects so entertaining and intriguing, you may forget you are learning! Recommended for the whole family and suggested for ages 3-10.

November Activities:

Nov 8 Glowing Eyes: Ever seen “glowing eyes” in the night time?  This art activity will teach you about nocturnal animals and you’ll get to take home a piece of artwork when completed!

Nov 15 Skull Challenge: Identify animal skulls by examining the eye orbits, nasal cavities, and teeth.  Test your own taste buds to see your preference of carnivore, omnivore, or herbivore.

Nov 22 Leafy Art:  We will design a “stained glass” window with leaves, melted crayons, and wax paper.  Just see what you can make!  

Nov 29 Puff Mobiles: This is a car that runs on your own breath of air!  Engineer a wind powered car with simple stuff like index cards and Lifesavers!
