Join us on the third Thursday of each month at the Noble Center to explore the science of Meteorology!
How can science help us to understand the weather? What can we learn from studying the processes that occur in the Earth’s atmosphere? In this class, we will discover some of the amazing things that happen “behind the scenes” to create the weather we experience in our daily lives and use our imaginations to create projects inspired by each month’s topic.
January 18th: Water and Ice
February 15th: Atmosphere
March 21st: Weather Forecasting
April 18th: Lightning and Storms
Join the Peoria PlayHouse at the Bonnie Noble Center in Lakeview Park for a special new program offering: Maker Collaborations!
Maker Collaborations is a partnership between the Peoria PlayHouse Children’s Museum and various Peoria Park District facilities focusing on MAKING WITH A PURPOSE. These special collaborations will bring together various Peoria Park District Facilities at the Peoria PlayHouse Makerspace at the Noble Center to offer families the opportunity to work on projects that will be utilized at various sites, such as creating animal enrichment for the Peoria Zoo and bird feeders for Forest Park Nature Center! A PPD staff member will lead a short content presentation about the project and then children and families will utilize the makerspace to complete their projects. All families will be encouraged to go visit their projects “in the wild” once they are installed/being utilized the Saturday after the program takes place!
