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