Preschool Discovery this Summer?
Posted by: | Comments
Now that Preschool Discovery Hour is over for the summer, what do you do with your preschooler? Gateway to Science has the answer! Visit our gallery during any of our normal business hours and request an Early Childhood exploration sheet. It will allow you and your preschooler to enrich the gallery experience by exploring your five senses inside our gallery. The Five Senses is a standard that is used in the school setting for both Preschool and Kindergarten. Your exploration in our gallery will help reinforce this concept. The exploration sheet is as easy as drawing pictures of things they see that demonstrate a property of one of the five senses. This guided experience will also help preschoolers stay focused during your visit.
Gateway to Science also has traveling science trunks for your preschooler. For $10, you can check out a traveling science trunk with various topics in mind. Force and Motion, Butterflies, Five Senses, States of Matter, and more are available at your fingertips. Email arin@gscience.org for more information. Follow this link to read about the different options online.
For some FREE fun, bring your preschooler to ANY of our family events this summer. Weather You Wanna’ Know, Rocket Day, and Bubble Bliss are FREE events that are appropriate for ALL ages. Follow the links above to visit details about each event.
Exploring the outdoors with your child is the GREATEST education you can offer. Share in your observations and watch them explore their surroundings in wonder. Self-discovery can be a powerful tool!
Happy learning,
Arin, Educational Outreach Coordinator

Physics Force Coming to Bismarck!
Posted by: | Comments
Physics Force presented on FRIDAY, MAY 3 at 6:30PM in St. Mary’s High School gymnasium.
The Visiting Scientists Series (VSS) event “Physics Force” is not your run of the mill demonstration show. The group needs a moving truck to bring their equipment from the Twin Cities. With demonstrations involving physicists dropping from a 20+ foot high tower, the implosion of a 55-gallon barrel, and a fire extinguisher-powered vehicle, there will be plenty of excitement. Friday, May 3 at 6:30 pm is the only chance to catch them in action!
All the info you need is on the Physics Force Flyer.
Download FREE Physics Force Tickets. Tickets are also available to the public at Gateway to Science (1810 Schafer Street, Bismarck) or call 258-1975 for more information. A limited number of tickets will be available at the door. Please arrive early to ensure a seat.
