Meet Sid the Science Kid During
Rochester Museum & Science Center "Adventure Weekends" Event
ROCHESTER,
NY—Sid the Science Kid from the popular Public Broadcasting Service (PBS)
series is the highlight of the next Rochester Museum & Science Center
(RMSC) "Adventure Weekends" event. The event takes place from 9am–12pm on
Saturday, April 28 at WXXI studios and from 12–4pm on Sunday, April 29 at the
RMSC.
At the program, entitled "Explore with
Sid the Science Kid," visitors have the opportunity to meet Sid and have a
picture taken with him. Visitors also investigate the
scientific principles that explain why things are what they are through
hands-on science experiments and activities, and view Sid the Science Kid
episodes. Participants also collect their own special "Little Scientist Day"
science journal and use it to explore the exhibits at the RMSC.
Special "Adventure Weekends"
appear throughout the year. Featuring hands-on science activities ranging from
simple to new, cutting-edge science, "Adventure Weekends" tend to appeal to all
family members—children and adults alike.
The program on day one at WXXI is free. The program on day
two at the RMSC is free with regular Museum admission: $12 adults, $11 seniors
& college students with ID, $10 ages 3 to 18, free for children under 3 and
RMSC members. For group reservations and rates, call
