Stop in 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Kemerer Museum of Decorative Arts in Bethlehem to learn about metal, electricity, along with the conservation and transfer of energy through scientific experiments and crafts.
Children will take part in a static electricity experiment demonstrating the power of magnetism and how positive and negative ions transfer among objects. They will learn about why metals are better conductors of electricity than other materials and how that impacts the conservation of historical objects. Each child will get to make their own wearable metal memento to take home.
The program is part of Historic Bethlehem Partnership's Hunt for History club, which meets the first Saturday of the month. Club members qualify for club rankings and prizes by keeping track of events they attend on their membership card. After getting marked for three events, club members become a researcher; after six events, an investigator, and after nine events, a Historic Bethlehem historian.
The program for ages 4-12 is free for children with an adult Pass Into History admission of $12. Info: historicbethlehem.org or 610-691-6055.Read/Post Comment
