Have you heard of Explore & More Children's Museum in East Aurora? I hope so because it is one of the gems of our area. I remember the start up and the quality programs that were offered even as they began. Now it is an established place with hands on learning activities for children. The price is reasonable and the experience wonderful.
Usually we take the children to the museum each spring. This year we opted for one of the workshops offered by the museum. It was wonderful! AWESOME was a word I heard whispered by the kids as we left the room. Here are some pictures of the workshop.
The topics covered were, matter- what is is, the 3 states of matter, solid-liquid-gas, adding and taking away heat, freezing, melting, evaporation, condensation and sublimation. For teachers looking for a substitute for field trips - these workshops are an option well worth exploring!!
