The scientific
method is a process that scientists use to answer questions of all types. In
its most basic sense, the scientific method involves observation, hypothesis/prediction, experimentation and
conclusion. Scientists often adapt the use of the scientific method based upon what is being
studied or how the scientist might interpret the process itself.
At DuPage Children's Museum (DCM), a
myriad of scientists travel through our exhibit neighborhoods each day. With every splash of water, turn of a handle
and stroke of a brush, children are observing, predicting, experimenting, coming to conclusions and repeating the process!
Most recently, DCM invited several young chemists to our Creativity Class series on the subject. Students were
introduced to chemistry as the study of matter and the changes that take place
with matter. Children explored chemical reactions under the guise of the class
titles—Chemistry or Not? Mix it Up! and
Pop, Fizz, Wow!
Creativity
classes run throughout the year.
Registration is taking place for our winter break
camps as well. Sign up today!
