APL Partner Spotlight: Buffalo Museum of Science
We are proud to shine the spotlight this week on APL partner the Buffalo Museum of Science!
This photo was taken when museum educators gave students at Catholic Academy of West Buffalo a hands-on experience with “capillary action art.” Capillary action is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, and in opposition to, external forces like gravity. Students explored the movements of liquids in small groups and were amazed by their discoveries. They then used their new vocabulary and knowledge to create personalized works of art.
The Buffalo Museum of Science is dedicated to the study and interpretation of the natural and physical sciences. Its extensive collections of over 700,000 specimens and artifacts represent all facets of the natural world with an emphasis on Western New York as well as man-made objects spanning the globe. We are lucky to have them as an APL partner!
