Dear Educators:
It might be cold outside, but we’re warming things up at the Museum of Science! It’s not too late to sign up for a $2 field trip or even a free Omni film in January. In February, hop on over to see Frogs: A Chorus of Colors. Are you teaching biology? Then check out one of our Forces That Change Us teacher enrichment opportunities.
Best wishes,
Educator Programs Group
