Little Edisons – Slinging Through the Sky

Catapults, pump rockets, and slingshots, oh my! Little Edisons read Forces: Physical Science for Kids by Andi Diehn, then craft their own slingshots using various materials. Then, we take them outside to see who can get objects to fly the farthest! What objects fly further, heavier, or lighter objects? Then, we come back inside to read a book and talk about our findings.

miSci’s Little Edisons program, for kids ages 3 to 5, is fun way to nurture the curiosity of pint-sized future engineers, chemists, and inventors. Sessions are 45 minutes long and feature hands-on activities designed to teach problem solving and to encourage the joy of discovery and STEAM topic exploration.

Tickets for Little Edisons sessions grant entry to the program for a student and parent/guardian. Programs run 10 – 10:45 a.m. on scheduled days. If you would like to explore the Museum before the program: choose +Little Explorers Time when selecting your ticket to get early admission at 9:30.
