Engineering Sunday

Family Science Sunday closed out the year - and called on you to put it all together. You built your own machines, constructed treacherous towers, experienced amazing devices, and thrilled to the power of the TCM Trebuchet.

Animal Sunday

It was a wild day with The Children's Museum's UTC Wildlife Sanctuary! We learned a lot of great things about our friends in the air as well as a few cute creatures on land. We had a lot of fun with our friends from Riverside Reptiles, The Forest Park Zoo and Talons!

Bubble Sunday

Science was almost as much fun as getting dirty, when Family Science Sundays presented bubble-ology. Featuring performances by Casey Carle's BubbleMania!, an amazing, high-energy show that was good clean fun for the whole family.

Mark Twain Sunday

Presentations by The Mark Twain House in Hartford helped Family Science Sunday bring the science of America's greatest writer to TCM.

Robo Sunday

The Robot Roll Call began with a visit from the 12 foot tall, 800 pound security robot named Aexeous...surely one of most Awesome Sundays!

Supercold Sunday

Think it was cold outside? Connecticut winter was nothing compared to the -320 degree chill of Liquid Nitrogen!

Space Sunday

We explored the final frontier and witnessed the dangers of outer space. We saw what happened in an airless environment, built our own rockets and more.

Bird Sunday

Spring migration was here. We met live avian friends, found out how to attract them to our own backyard, and constructed feeders and nest boxes to take home.

Gardening Sunday

We got down and dirty, just in time for gardening season. Learned how to compost, saw what's inside a flower, got hands-on with live worms, and decorated flowerpots to take with you for more grow-it-yourself-science.
