With spring break approaching, now is the time to consider
ways to make learning come to life for your child. Consider visiting local museums where your
child can experience exhibits and galleries that make learning fun. Museum staff members are able to stretch the
visitors' imagination and flex their creative muscles in the interactive,
hands-on activities.
One
such place is Amazement Square in Lynchburg, VA. This museum is Central Virginia's first
multidisciplinary, hands-on children's museum.
Visitors get to: climb, slide, and discover exciting activities as they
explore global and regional topics, such as: arts, humanities, science, and
health related themes.
Another
place of interest is the Science Museum of Southwest Virginia in Roanoke,
VA. Visitors can explore the light and
sound arcade, plasma sphere, and a giant "big mouth".
·
in the light and sound gallery, there are over
forty interactive exhibits
·
in the plasma sphere, the three states of matter
are explored through physics and chemistry experiments. Plasma is a state of
matter similar to gas in which a certain portion of the particles are ionized.
·
with the Big Mouth, visitors will learn how the
mouth tastes food; how our teeth are designed to bite and chew; and how a
healthy body starts.
Why not
schedule a day trip to a local science museum.
Your child's imagination will be sparked and the hands-on learning will
create lasting memories.
