Hands-on exploration

Using our senses to explore scientific processes during playful learning.

Learning Lab

This program can include any activity that stimulates a child’s senses: touch, smell, taste, movement, balance, sight and hearing. Sensory activities facilitate exploration and naturally encourage children to use scientific processes while they play, create, investigate, and explore which can lead to longer attention spans and focus in addition to improving their coordination and motor skills.

Head to the Learning Lab on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 11:30 a.m. and explore these hands-on experiments waiting for you!

  • SEPTEMBER is all about the letter N: We will craft resin pendants inspired by our favorite natural wonders and take a fascinating, up-close look at the intricate cellular structures hidden within them.
  • Another Learning Lab activity includes cave-spelunking coding sessions where you will play a game of search and rescue while learning interesting historical facts about Tennessee’s abundance of caves.
