Science Saturdays: Auroras

Immerse yourself in a weekly science topic with our naturalists. Get hands-on with experiments, activities, crafts and more with a different topic each week as we explore the “What? Where? When? Why? and How?” of the world around us.

The Sun is becoming quite active, meaning we have a good chance of seeing northern lights this year. With videos and demonstrations, kids (and learners of all ages) will learn how charged particles from the Sun create  a spectacular light shows in the sky: the Aurora Borealis.

Science Saturdays is a free, family-friendly program geared toward elementary ages. Depending on the topic and the weather, this program may be outdoors. Please dress for the weather.
