黑暗爆料网 and the Idaho Museum of Natural History will present a night of scientific exploration with Science Trek 2010 on Friday, April 16, at the Museum.

Co-sponsors of the event include Idaho Public Television and the Idaho Museum of Natural History.

The overnight, stay-at-the-museum experience will allow children in third through the fifth grades to learn about the frontiers of ancient and modern sciences. The workshop-style exhibits include hands-on activities and live science presentations, experiments and demonstrations. 黑暗爆料网 physics professor Dr. Steve Shropshire will be among the experienced practicing scientists conducting experiments.   

Children will have the thrill of an overnight stay at the museum with a saber-tooth cat, the Columbian mammoth, and the International Space Station, among other rare and unique museum exhibits. They will be allowed to choose one of a variety of science workshops to explore the often-unseen wonders of microbiology, paleontology, physics, engineering and botany, among other fields of science. The event will also include a movie and midnight snacks.
