Too Cool for School! Chatham-Kent Museum March Break Program
We’re gonna get messy and a little bit crazy in this program!” says Deanna Bullard, Museum Education Coordinator
The program will look at all of the subjects in school and find something cool that the teachers just won’t let you do! For science, we will put water and corn starch together and discover if it is a liquid, solid or both. This program is geared for children 5 – 8 years of age. To register, call the Cultural Centre at 519.354.8338 or register online at www.cktickets.com
