Summer STEM Exhibition: Measurement Rules

This summer, learn measurement concepts using rulers, scales and… chickens. Yes, chickens. Measurement Rules is presented Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at the Museum from June 1 to Sept. 9.

Discover STEM concepts

Young visitors learn about height, distance, volume and more through quirky, hands-on stations. They use tools to learn about the concepts – sometimes rulers, sometimes cubes and sometimes chickens.

Explore measurement in aviation

Since you’re visiting an aviation museum, you may ask:

-How long, how wide and how tall is an airplane?

-Does runway length matter?

-How is weight accounted for when loading an aircraft?

We have these answers! Families learn how measurement is used in the day-to-day operation of an airline.
