Summer Science Week: Spineless Wonders (Grades 1-3) - At the Harvard Museum of Natural History
*The event has already taken place on this date: Fri, 07/24/2026
Explore the amazing world of insects, spiders, crabs, and other invertebrates. Meet a tarantula, search for millipedes, and listen to the hiss of a giant cockroach. Invent a “superbug” to take home and compare to the feats of real invertebrates.
Each Summer Science Week program is taught by a professional educator and serves a maximum of 15 students. Based in one of the museum classrooms, students work independently and in groups to examine museum specimens, conduct experiments, create crafts, explore museum galleries, play games, and have fun!
