Kaleideum Downtown is the first location in the United States to host a crocheted wonder from renowned artist Toshiko Horiuchi MacAdam. Vibrant colors and rich textures engage children and inspire them to climb, swing, and experience this innovative exhibit.

Kids love to scramble and crawl over the wavy platforms of the Luckey Climber. After exploring the first floor, the climbing adventures continue as kids scale the Beanstalk Climber, leaf by leaf, to the second floor.

The Prop Shop

The Prop Shop opened in April 2017 and features a 1,000-square-foot space set in the “backstage” of a theatre where you can create, invent, tinker, explore, and discover. Using real tools and materials, you can design and create your own puppets, costumes, set pieces, and props. The space also includes a theatre-themed toddler area with a small slide and interactives that offer developmentally appropriate experimentation and opportunities for dramatic play.

Amazing Library

Filled with child-sized tables and comfortable seating, we encourage you to take a break during your Museum visit to enjoy a book. Staff-led storytimes are a regular feature of this area. Look for the crayon wall mural depicting schools, local landmarks, and storybook characters.

CLASSROOM PROGRAMS These programs are hands-on, interactive explorations for individual classes of approximately 25 students. They are available September-May. You must have at least 10 students to schedule. Groups with fewer than 10 students, please refer to the Small Group/Home School Schedule.

All About Animals

Grades PreK-2 Meet some of our animal ambassadors as we explore the differences in animal groups by examining fur, feathers, and scales. Handle animal pelts and the shed skin from a snake. Make an animal craft to take home.

Sounds All Around

Grades PreK-3 Let your class put their “good vibrations” to use. Students will make music with traditional instruments and natural objects while learning how they hear and having fun! Experiment with sound waves using an oriental resonating bowl.

What’s The Buzz?

Grades PreK-4 Look into the world of insects, spiders, and other manylegged creatures. See what bees see and learn about ladybugs’ favorite snacks and the life cycle of butterflies.

Make insect art to take home!

Pop, Bubble, Fizz

Grades K-2 Students measure and mix as they sharpen observation skills and learn about lab safety. Experiment with color change, measure ingredients, and test chemical reactions while making fizzy brews and rubbery gloop.

Magnificent Magnets

Grades K-4 Experiment with various sizes and shapes of magnets and determine with which materials they work best. Test the strength of electromagnets, observe the effect of magnets on a compass, and use metal filings to detect invisible magnetic fields.

Melting Pot

Grades K-5 Turn solids into liquids and liquids into gases while making handdipped candles to observe matter’s structure and properties as they undergo physical changes. Discover how temperature affects the properties of matter and experiment with different substances to see and feel the different states of matter.

Weather Wonders

Grades K-5 Get weather-wise in this hands-on program. Explore earth’s weather and how it forms. Watch a cloud in a jar and learn how meteorologists use weather-measuring instruments.

Down to Earth

Grades 1-4 Learn about rocks, minerals, and other earth materials.

Scratch the surface of rocks and minerals to discover and observe hardness, luster, and other characteristics.

Dig deeper into the basic components of soil. Discussion and hands-on stations help students explore types, properties, identification, and uses of the Earth’s building blocks.

Earth, Moon, and Stars

Grades 1-4 Explore the solar system with this hands-on, interactive program. We will cover the phases of the moon, earth’s rotation, and monthly changes in the night sky. This program will demonstrate in a 3-D way the solar system we call home.

Explore the visible light spectrum and have some thought-provoking fun with light.

Sustainable Futures

Grades 4-9+ More than 7 billion people live on Earth. Impacts that humans are having on this great ecosystem may go beyond its resiliency. Can we develop the technology and the moral force to live in a sustainable way?

Participate in onstage activities that illustrate how much water is available to us, model water’s incredible journey, and explore connections within a habitat. View a hydrogen-fueled car, just one of the technologies being explored as a sustainable energy resource.

OUTDOOR PROGRAMS Outdoor Programs will be offered rain or shine, so please dress appropriately. Maximum of 30 students.

Environmental Park Tours

Grades PreK-9+ Take a look at the various barnyard animals and compare them with the white-tailed deer, raccoon, and river otter.

WORKSHOPS FOR EDUCATORS

(Formerly SciWorks)

Methods of Teaching Environmental Education (MOTEE) Workshop November 4, 2017

This is a required Criteria 1 workshop for Environmental Education Certification. It provides educators with the basic knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to deliver high-quality environmental education programs to children and adults. It is designed for the professional development of environmental educators who work in both non-formal and formal educational settings and who offer a wide range of programming for all grade levels and for adults.

Project Learning TreeEnvironmental Experiences for Early Childhood Date TBD

Project Learning Tree (PLT) is an interdisciplinary environmental education program designed for educators of any background.

The hands-on activities facilitate the exploration of topics including plants, geology, recycling, water, wildlife, and much more!

The Environmental Experiences for Early Childhood curriculum was developed for preschool and early childhood educators. The guide includes more than 130 learning experiences to engage children ages 3-7 in outdoor play and exploration. Materials are correlated to NAEYC standards and the Head Start framework.

Workshop and materials are provided at no cost to participants through partnership with the NC Forestry Association; however, pre-registration is required.

For more information and to register, contact Kelli Isenhour at (336) 714-7106 or kisenhour@kaleideum.org.
