Mobile Science Museum
Bringing Science to child care on the Eastern Shore of Maryland
The Lower Shore Child Care Resource Center’s Mobile Science Museum first “rolled” out at the Salisbury
Festival. Since that time, the program has begun to visit child care programs in the three lower counties,
presenting mini science lessons and hands on science fun to preschool children and their teachers.
The program also presents trainings to child care providers in the area of early childhood science.
Salisbury University Early Education students will assist the program throughout the academic year.
Funding was made possible with grants from the PNC Foundation and the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore

Learning about air and gravity was fun!
We learned about air pressure!
We could hear each other, even if we whispered!
We even learned about simple tools! We like to measure things!
