Ice Age: Michigan’s Frozen Secrets is a fascinating exhibit that explores the icy world of North America during the last glacial period.
Snow: Tiny Crystals, Global Impact is an exhibit that explores the science behind snow and how it impacts the world on a global scale, including its influence on weather patterns, ecosystems, and human societies.
Students will explore the frozen world of the Ice Age and the science of snow through hands-on exhibits and interactive activities. The Ice Age & Snow exhibits use models, objects, interactives, and storytelling to explore the biology of Ice Age animals, the power of glaciers, and the impact of snow on our planet’s climate.
