Learn about yourself and how your mind and body work at Wonder Kids, a day of interactive science experiments at the Museum of Science and Industry on Saturday, November 14, 2009 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Families with children of all ages will learn about the science of themselves through fun, hands-on activities and make-and-takes related to the theme of our new exhibit, YOU! The Experience. Try painting with your knees or elbows to learn about your body. Identify what you're touching without seeing it. Decipher someone's emotions in a game called "mirror mirror." Understand sound by making your own bat ears, and more.

The first 1,000 children who attend will receive Wonder Kid t-shirts, and all participants get an event guide filled with tips on extending science learning at home.

Wonder Kids is a program developed by Chicago Children’s Museum and the Museum of Science and Industry, with generous funding from Allstate.

This event is included in General Admission.
