Friday, March 4, ongoing all day: Celebrate National Peanut Month at EverWonder.

Tuesday, February 8, to Sunday, April 17: Art Lab: Butterfly Symmetry and Ladybug Dots.

Starting on Tuesday, March 8, the museum will be offering new spring inspired Art Lab projects, Butterfly Symmetry and Ladybug Dots.

Are butterflies symmetrical? If an image can be reflected over a line and the image remains unchanged, then it has a line of symmetry. Line of symmetry divides one image into two exact matching halves. In Butterfly Symmetry, young scientists will learn about lines of symmetry through decorating butterfly wings.

In Ladybug Dots, young scientists will work on their addition skills by placing dots on two distinct halves of a ladybug. After decorating the two halves of the ladybug, the scientists will count how many dots are on each side of the ladybug and add them together to figure out how many total dots are on the ladybug.

Wednesday, March 9, ongoing: Science Lab: Butterfly Life Cycles.

Museum visitors will study the four different stages of a butterfly's life, using different shaped pasta to symbolize the progression of a butterfly's development.

Thursday, March 17, ongoing: Art Lab: Scrunchy Shamrocks.

Calling all leprechauns: Lé fhéile Pédraig sona dhuit! (Happy St Patrick's Day)

Celebrate St Patrick's Day at EverWonder by learning about different Irish and American customs, and make tissue paper shamrocks. Young explorers will use their motor skills to crunch green tissue paper ribbons into little balls to glue onto a shamrock template.

Friday, March 25, ongoing: Science Lab: Jelly Bean Experiment.

What happens when jelly beans are placed into water? On Friday, March 25, museum visitors will be using a favorite springtime candy - jelly beans - to practice their prediction and observation skills while learning about water absorption, leaching, and color change.
