Join us for a reading of Thunder Boy Jr. by Sherman Alexie with illustrations by Yuyi Morales. After the story, in which a boy named after his dad thinks about sharing a name with his dad and how he can make himself known in his own way. Our experiment will celebrate what father and son come up with together – lightning. We will explore static electricity and make lightning. Science Story Time allows young scientists to develop literacy and STEM skills as well as build vocabulary by actively participating in the program. Activities designed for ages 3-6. All welcome. Materials are not necessary, but feel free to have a balloon and a metal spoon on hand.

You’ve read the book, but what SHOULD you expect when you’re expecting? Parenthood is a wild ride and we at WonderLab are here to help. From pregnancy questions to the first 18 months of life, in this Baby Brilliance we will talk about the ups and downs of expecting a child and what those first few months will be like. For parents expecting a child to caregivers and supportive friends who will be helping out, we will engage in thoughtful, science-based discussion around parenting and what to expect when the new baby arrives. Come as you are, babes in laps are welcome.
