Museum Workshops These 90-minute, theme-based workshops are hands-on, minds-on, and customized to be age-appropriate. They are specifically designed to encourage inquiry and student-directed learning. | |
| BIODIVERSITY BLITZ: ANIMALS OF OUR REGION Weave the web of life in the Niagara Frontier! Through a variety of interactive experiences, students will explore the ways that different species live and depend on each other. They’ll also learn about the three levels of diversity – genetics, habitat, and species. Limit: 60 students | |
| DYNAMIC DINOSAURS AND FASCINATING FOSSILS Grab your Indiana Jones hat and join us on a learning safari to the prehistoric world! Students will investigate dinosaurs and fossils in workshop and tour sessions. They’ll also examine the fascinating remains of ancient sea creatures and massive dinosaur skeletons. What an introduction to the world of paleontology! Limit: 60 students | |
| WHEM ANKH: THE CYCLE OF LIFE IN ANCIENT EGYPT Walk through the lives of the ancient Egyptians. Discover how they cooked, the games they played, and the kind of houses they lived in. Students also learn about the religion of ancient Egypt and see some real mummies! Limit: 120 students | |
| OUR PLACE IN SPACE Take a journey through the Buffalo Museum of Science astronomy exhibit, Our Place in Space. Add fun and excitement to your students’ study of space concepts. They’ll experiment with light, view the night sky from anywhere in the solar system, look at the earth from space using satellite technology systems, and check out telescope technology in the observatory. Limit: 50 students | |
| CLASSIFICATION – THAT’S THE NAME OF THE GAME! Scientists have spent centuries organizing everything in the universe into different groups and categories. Whether it’s plants, animals, rocks, or stars, there has to be a way to connect things if they are to make sense to us. Throughout the Museum, students explore some of the ways that this organization happens through hands-on, minds-on activities, and gallery adventures. This workshop extends the Classification Tour to include more opportunities to engage with our educational collections. Limit: 60 students | |
| CRIME INVESTIGATION Use math, chemistry, and physics in the guise of footprints, ransom notes, and fingerprints to solve a crime in much the same way police officers and forensic scientists do. Students will learn the science behind the scenes. Limit: 60 Students | |
| DESIGN CHALLENGES This Museum offering is geared to introduce students to engineering design. By participating in a hands-on activity students will be asked to design, build, and test a prototype solution to a given problem. Students enjoy a fun and engaging experience while gaining knowledge of the engineering and innovation processes. Limit: 60 students Choose from: MAROONED! Can you design the tools to survive being stranded on a deserted island on the Niagara River? FLIGHT CHALLENGE Can you design, build and test a model that will fly? JUNK YARD DESIGN Can you build a new invention out of an old one? TOBOGGAN CHALLENGE Can you design, build and test a model that will move on our toboggan track? Available December – February | |
