weekend Science - Peachtree City
YOUNG EXPLORERS' LABS - PEACHTREE CITY
Little kids are natural scientists! Our Young Explorers (ages 3-5 and an adult partner) use lab tools to conduct science experiments, explore nature and create science-based art. In addition to introducing scientific concepts, we also work on fine motor skills, encourage sensory play and help develop critical thinking skills through our hands-on experiments and activities. Fun for kids and adults! At least one adult partner must attend.
Ages 3-5
Saturdays - 10:00-10:45am
Location: Discover Science Center - Peachtree City
$15/kid (10% sibling discount)
Limited to eight Young Explorers and their adult partners.
