Curious little explorers conduct simple, safe, science and nature experiments in the EcoTarium's Budding Scientists program.

Please pick up a ticket for your session at the Tickets and Information Desk when you arrive at the museum. Limited to first 10 adult-child pairs per session.
Budding Scientists is designed for families and their children aged 4-6. This month, Budding Scientists will explore the science of sound. We will play with materials to discover how sounds are made and how these materials can affect how fast sounds can travel. We will also experiment with a variety of ways to change the pitch and volume of sounds.

"Equal Rights May Be Self-Evident, But Have They Been Realized?" by Richard D. Brown
7:00 PM-9:00 PM
American Antiquarian Society
185 Salisbury Street
Worcester, MA 01609
Despite our countrys founding statement that all men are created equal,the early Republic struggled with social inequality. Although Americans paid homage to the ideal of equal rights, this ideal came up against entrenched social and political practices. In this talk based upon his latest book, Self-Evident Truths: Contesting Equal Rights from the Revolution to the Civil War, Brown will discuss how the ideal was tested in struggles over race and ethnicity, religious freedom, gender and social class, voting rights and citizenship. He shows how high principles fared in criminal trials and divorce cases when minorities, women, and people from different social classes faced judgment. His talk explores the ways revolutionary political ideas penetrated popular thinking and everyday practice from the Revolution through the Civil War.
