In the Words of Confucius: Just Do It!

Angela Burgess is on staff at the Museum and reminded us recently of the saying

I HEAR AND I FORGET

I SEE AND I REMEMBER

I DO AND I UNDERSTAND

How true! Research has shown that people learn best when they can actually DO what they are learning. For this reason, the Museum of Discovery provides HANDS-ON activities. For example, our BACKYARD SCIENCE exhibit has a “pollination station”

You can read about which bugs like which flowers, then match the bug to the flower using a digital puzzle piece. If you get it right, you hear a DING. If you get it wrong, a buzz. Fun! Come on by and try it!
