Explore Gravity at Books and Beyond

Children ages 6 through 12 can practice the STEAM concept of science by learning about gravity at the Nicholson Memorial Library System’s Books and Beyond program. At the January program, participants will listen to an explanation of the force of gravity then conduct experiments that illustrate the principle. These experiments include playing with gravity-defying beads, dropping weighted and unweighted objects at the same time, and establishing balance points to find an object’s center of gravity.

2 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 28
Central Library.

Books and Beyond consists of book discussions and activities related to monthly themes. Each theme incorporates concepts from STEAM learning: science, technology, engineering, art, and math. Children use their imaginations to explore the themes and complete the activities, all while socializing with others their age and having fun. No registration is required to attend this free event. Children must be ages 6 through 12 to attend. Please be aware that photographs and video may be taken at Library programs for use in print and/or electronic media at the Library’s discretion.
