Inquiry & Connections
Making science connections.
The Museum challenges visitors to recognize and practice their scientific thinking skills. A variety of "hands-on, minds-on" activity stations allow visitors to experience the scientific process by asking questions, formulating hypotheses, performing experiments, examining evidence, and drawing conclusions.
