Join us for Stellar Science events with Maine Mineral and Gem Museum this fall! 

Four Wednesdays this Autumn at 2:30 pm

September 23: Talk Like a Pirate/Pyrite Day

Learn about the gold rush and fool’s gold. Is there gold in Maine? Real Pirate history facts included for fun.

October 28: Autumn is Not Just for Halloween

Learn about Day of the Dead. It sounds scary but isn’t with the book El Dia de Los Muertos by Bob Banner. Fall days and cool nights are the perfect time to learn about rocks that glow in the dark. Let’s do some luminescent painting.

November 18: Aliens 

Learn facts about the planet Mars and read a silly book about Life on Mars by Jon Agee. Get creative and design your own alien space craft.

December 16: Build a Rover

We know a lot about Mars because of Rovers. Hear the story of Curiosity by Markus Motom and learn about all the different vehicles that travel the “red planet”. Then we’ll get out the glue guns (and trash?) to build a model Rover.
