Summer Passport Program
Join us for Tellus Science Museum’s Summer Passport Program as we study the science of BUBBLE-OLOGY! Students will learn what makes a bubble; we’ll teach your little ones in simpler terms and then toss in some great science vocabulary to stretch your older students! After learning the basics of bubbles, students will make their own super-strong bubble juice to take home and then head outside to experience all types of bubbles and bubble blowers!
These super fun (and slightly messy) science activities are not available to the general public. During the program rotations, students will also experience all four of Tellus’ galleries, as well as visit The Museum Store.
Please review the following information carefully and share with the other caregivers on your team so that everyone involved will have the best experience possible!
