The Science Surprises program is temporarily on hold while we plan for reopening. Check back for updates.

Science fun is available from the Florida Museum for our community! The Science Surprises program is available either virtually or as an in-person presentation for schools, homeschool groups or community organizations.

Do the full Physics in Nature four-part series or pick individual topics. Each session begins with an interactive demonstration of a scientific concept, followed by hands-on, inquiry-based activities that they can take home to share with their families.
