Event Dates: 11/1/2009 through 11/5/2009

Brief Description: Young children enthusiastically embrace learning about the world they live in with fearless abandon. Their innate sense of curiosity leads them to try to understand how the natural world is put together and what makes it tick. So why, many years later, do so many adults—including teachers—often consider themselves a “nonscience” person? Somehow many of us have misplaced our instinctive desire to understand the world around us and have walled ourselves off from much of the joy and magic the universe has to offer. What is it that holds atoms together? How does DNA provide a blueprint for all living things? Will the universe continue to expand indefinitely? Investigate the natural world with renowned scientists discovering user-friendly and innovative inquiry-based activities. Join us as we seek to rekindle that spark of curiosity that still glows inside us all.
