Science for Little Peeps—Featuring Peep and the Big Wide World

Please join us for a day of science activities for kids ages 3-6.

Science for Little Peeps is inspired by the popular TV series "Peep and the Big Wide World," funded in part by the National Science Foundation, which appears on The Learning Channel and Discovery Kids networks.

We will use Exploring Structures, an actual hands-on activity from the show, to help children explore the following science concepts:

• How you design and build a structure helps determine how strong it will be.
• Different materials are useful for making different kinds of structures and different parts of structures.
• Walls, roofs, and bridges need to be supported in special ways.

Peep activities are easy-to-do ideas that provide fun ways for you and your kids to learn simple science concepts. Each activity extends the science ideas of each Peep and the Big Wide World story.

Peep activity: 4 Sessions Exploring Structures in Mercury Meeting Room.

Pre-registration for the Peep activities is highly recommended as space is limited.
