Museum Lab Program Explores Soil Health and Composting for School-Age Kids
 

BISMARCK –Children in grades K-12 can now be registered for “Museum Lab: Soil—It’s More Than Just Dirt” on March 19 at 10:30 a.m. at the North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum in Bismarck. This free program will explore what soil is made of, how it works, and how we can keep it healthy.
 
"Museum Lab"—part science lab, part DIY garage—connects science, technology, art, and history with everyday experiences and an atmosphere of experimentation. Students explore how historians use real-world problems and authentic objects to anchor modern issues in a historical context. They will learn how historians, scientists, and artists work together to spark new ideas and deepen their understanding of content.
 
Sponsored by the State Historical Society of North Dakota, future “Museum Lab” programs will explore several topics including leather-making projects, gardening, and plants and animals of North Dakota.
