4 Program Themes with Descriptions:

Great Artists: Ready, messy masterpieces begin! Children will learn about painter Claude Monet and Impressionism by viewing a sample of this work and hearing a story. Children will then create their own version of Monet’s “Water Lily Pond.”

Race Into Space: Discover how the universe and our solar system were made. Students will simulate the Big Bang Theory with balloons, hear a story about the formation of the universe, and design their own planet to take home.

Animal Adaptations: Why are animals different? Students will explore different parts of animals in a hands-on activity as they decide how each animal uses each trait/physical feature. Students will hear a story about different animal adaptations and why the trait would be helpful or not depending on the animal. Finally, students will apply what they learned as they create their own clay animals.

“Our partnership with the Children’s Museum of Cleveland (CMC) has been a wonderful experience. The STEAM based lessons enhance our classroom curriculum and provide students with hands-on learning activities they love. We are thankful for the outreach program which brings the magic of the CMC into our classroom.”
