A family day celebrating the science of Olympic sports!
How do the boats used by Olympic rowers stay afloat? What muscles are used when basketball and soccer players shoot a ball? What can rhythmic gymnasts teach us about science?
Celebrate the opening of the 2012 Olympics and explore the science behind some of its most popular sports at WonderKids, a fun-filled day of activities created jointly by the Museum of Science and Industry and Chicago Children’s Museum. Families with children of all ages will learn about the science of Olympics sports through fun, hands-on activities and make-and-takes.
This event is included in general admission.
Wonder Kids is a program developed by Chicago Children’s Museum and the Museum of Science and Industry, with generous support from Allstate.
