National Museum of the United States Navy Washington Navy Yard, Washington, DC, United States

Ever wonder where that saying came from? This month, students will look at the different types of weather systems found over the ocean and how Sailors predict the weather (from early methods, such as the color of the sky, to modern technology). They will build their own barometers to test changing air pressure, and build

Home School at the Museum: Simple Machines

National Museum of the United States Navy Washington Navy Yard, Washington, DC, United States

Levers, pulleys and wedges are simple machines that make our lives and sailor’s lives (and work) easier. This month, students will create mouse-trap powered cars to better explore simple machines, Newton’s three laws, acceleration and velocity. While this program is currently full, space are available on the wait list for each day. Please note— the
