Air Power! The Museum on the Go will present the concept of air as a State of Matter. During the Museum visit, children will observe, explore and investigate the properties of air through several hands-on exhibits and a facilitated activity. We will begin each group session with three experiments demonstrated by the Museum on the Go educators. After a brief introduction to the exhibits, the students will have approximately 20 minutes of free exploration. We will end the group session with a closing demonstration.
