Tips for Visiting Science Museums: If you'll visit a science museum more than once a year, consider an annual membership, which often includes admission to a whole network of science museums in other cities, too. Allow extra time and money! to visit the gifts stores that are a feature of most science museums. These gift stores are a wonderful source of books and toys that mix education and fun. Most gift stores offer discounts to members sometimes considerable. Allow even more extra time to have a lunch break during your visit to a science museum.

Held on October 4, “Involving the Community in Environmental Issues: A Hands-On Garden Workshop” led participants through a garden exploration that demonstrated how gardening outreach programs can help engage underserved local communities in the global conversation on critical environmental issues. The session began with participants collecting soil samples from around the museum grounds. With help from Peter Van Dyke, manager of the Bishop Museum’s Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden, they then tested the soil’s pH levels, a procedure that can help reveal human-caused environmental impacts, such as acid rain. Following the activity, presenters from the Communities of Learning for Urban Environments and Science (CLUES) project shared their experiences in developing family gardening programs at their museums. CLUES is a grant-funded collaboration between the New Jersey Academy for Aquatic Sciences (in Camden) and the Franklin Institute, the Philadelphia Zoo, and the Academy of Natural Sciences (all in Philadelphia), which focuses on teaching science to families in communities of the Philadelphia–Camden region. Participants also received an outline of a family outdoor workshop to use at their own science centers.
