Mind Your Body Day at The Franklin Institute

About this adventure

Mind Your Body Day is a Saturday science event at The Franklin Institute about the science of the human body. Across the museum, families build brain models and DNA structures, test their memory and motor skills, try sensory illusions, experiment with brain-wave technology and learn how the immune system fights disease, with hands-on stations from Franklin Institute educators, Johnson & Johnson and Temple University's neuroscience program. The Inside U live science show runs in the PECO Demonstration Theater. The museum describes it as designed for visitors of all ages; school-age children who like hands-on experiments will get the most from the stations. Activities run from 11 am to 2 pm and are included with general museum admission, which also covers the permanent exhibits; Franklin Institute members get in free and reserve member tickets online.
