Museum educators run live experiments and demonstrations that change from day to day: physics and chemistry topics such as inertia, buoyancy and electromagnetism, alongside natural-science surprises like the composition of beaver teeth or the design and strength of birds' eggs. The show is designed for ages 7 and up, making it a good fit for elementary and middle-school children who like to see things fizz, float and spark and to ask questions afterward. Sessions run Wednesday through Friday at 1:30 pm and twice on Saturdays, so it is easy to build into a museum visit, including on school holidays such as the Friday after Thanksgiving. No registration is required. ## Similar picks in Raleigh - [Investigate Lab and Naturalist Center at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences](https://grassyknees.com/raleigh/activities/investigate-lab-and-naturalist-center-at-the-nc-museum-of-natural-scie--listing-85039c776048ef6af81d48dd) — Open during museum hours (downtown museum Tuesday–Sunday 10 am–5 pm); the labs' own… · North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences — Nature Research Center · All ages · Free · checked Oct 24.
