Presents… Sports Scientist
Saturday, June 3, 10-11 a.m.
Exercise is good for us, but what exactly is going on inside our bodies and our brains when we run, jump, and balance? In age appropriate activities, children ages 4 to 10 will become sports scientists as they discover the science of the body in motion. Activities include a brief talk by Education Manager Tracy Strianese, followed by lots of physical play to experience changes in heart rate and the effects of gravity on balance and jumping, among other concepts. Admission: members $10 per car; non-members $20 per car.

Kids, Hear the Story of “The Green
Umbrella”
Saturday, June 3, 1-2 p.m.
“The Green Umbrella” by Jackie Azua Kramer is a celebration of the imagination — an elephant is taking a peaceful walk with his green umbrella when he is interrupted by a hedgehog, cat, bear, and rabbit, each claiming that his umbrella is really their boat, tent, flying machine, and cane. The elephant is surprised — after all, it is an umbrella, and it certainly hasn’t been on any adventures more exciting than a walk in the rain. Or has it? Come listen to this charming tale told by the author.
