SUMMARY:First Friday: Take Note at the Science History Institute
DESCRIPTION:Get a glimpse into what students of the past left behind in their laboratory notebooks. Love notes\, doodles\, mysterious scribbles\, clever quotes: what do you take note of in class? \nSchool is back in session\, so make your first field trip to the Science History Institute this First Friday! Flip through history with a selection of historical lab notebooks filled with scientific discoveries\, unexpected artwork\, and a few lingering mysteries. Then take a page from the past and create your own lab notebook! There will be hands-on crafts and activities for all ages. \nEver taken a science class? What experiment—or lab mishap—has stuck with you over the years? Drop by the museum and share your favorite classroom memories. We’d love to compare notes! \nScience has been taught in countless ways through the ages. From children’s chemistry sets to building block models of molecules. Explore the many tools people have used to understand the world around them through our handling collection.\nMany of the artifacts on display tonight will be featured in the upcoming Closer Read exhibit on historical laboratory notebooks. At 6pm\, curator Taylor Bailey will offer a brief preview of the exhibition and highlight a few fascinating stories hidden in the margins. \nBe sure to pencil this event into your calendar. (Don’t worry\, there won’t be a pop quiz!)
