Students will put together their own "save and spend" banks and have time to explore the Museum’s “Cash Flow” exhibit. SOLs- Econ 1.8 (a, b, c, d, e), Math 1.NS.1 (f)
  

• Make it Move!: Students will dive into the science of motion as they experiment with balancing shapes, building spinning tops, and discovering what makes objects roll. Through hands-on challenges and playful exploration, they’ll uncover early math and science concepts in a way that’s active, creative, and full of discovery. SOLs- Science 1.2 (a), Math 1.MG.2 (a), 1.PS.1 (a, b, g)
  

• Billy Goat Bridges: When the Gruff brothers need to cross the river but the troll is causing trouble, it’s up to the students to help! Using nonstandard units of measurement, children will problem-solve and collaborate to build a bridge sturdy enough to get the goats safely home. SOLs- Math 1.MG 1 (a, b), Science 1.1 (a, b, d, e)
