Topic: Song of Summer – Cicadas
Weather permitting – Masks Required – Distance Enforced
Join us in the WonderGarden as we read Natsumi’s Song of Summer by Robert Paul Weston and Misa Saburi. In the story, the song is the buzzing of the cicadas. As Bloomington welcomes the return of the Brood X periodical cicada, which we have not seen in 17 years, we are excited to talk about cicadas with our youngest visitors. After the story we will create image-based cicada life cycles that the participants may take home with them. 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.

Topic: Insect Dye
Weather permitting – Masks Required – Distance Enforced
There are many ways to create naturally-sourced colors, you can even use certain types of bugs! Can you engineer new types of dyes by mixing natural colorants? STEM Saturday at WonderLab is a great opportunity for the whole family or group to explore the engineering design process as well as develop STEM skills such as defining & problem solving, exploring cause & effect, and the collaborative process. This program is made possible through funding from Cook Medical and CFC Properties.
